The ruling on performing wudu' in place of ghusl for one who experiences a wet dream

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: Does wudu' suffice in place of ghusl for one who experiences a wet dream while sleeping? What is the ruling on one who says that wudu' suffices in place of ghusl for one who experiences a wet dream while sleeping? And what is the ruling on one who experiences a wet dream, then performs istinja', and prays on that day after cleaning his clothes? If my action was wrong, how do I make up the prayers I performed?

Answer:
Your action was 100% wrong, without a doubt. Wudu' does not suffice in place of ghusl. Wudu' does not suffice in place of ghusl. And since you prayed without performing ghusl, you prayed without ritual purity. It is obligatory for you to perform ghusl and repeat or make up the prayers you performed while in a state of impurity. Yes.
