What is the ruling on one who experiences a wet dream, performs the Friday bath, and prays assuming that the Friday bath suffices for the bath of major ritual impurity?

Question:
He says: On one of the days of last Ramadan, I woke up from sleep and performed the Friday bath. After I had bathed, it became clear to me that I had experienced a wet dream. I did not repeat the bath because I assumed that the Friday bath suffices for the bath of major ritual impurity. After a while, I learned that the Friday bath does not suffice for the bath of major ritual impurity, so I repeated the Friday prayer as the midday prayer, and I did not make up the fast for that day. Is my action correct?

Answer:
The fast is valid because a wet dream does not invalidate the fast, as it is not by your choice. Even if semen came out of you during the wet dream, this does not invalidate the fast, because it is not by your choice. As for the fact that you prayed the Friday prayer and made it up as the midday prayer, praise be to Allah, you acted with caution. Yes.
