The questioner:
Sabir from Makkah, please, Sabir. May Allah keep you safe. And Honorable Shaykh, I have a question. May Allah preserve you. My brother is married and resides in Makkah. When he sleeps, he has wet dreams while in the state of ihram and has wet dreams with the rituals of ihram, other than his wife. What is the ruling on that? Is this a state of major ritual impurity, or is it a mercy from Allah?
The Shaykh:
No, no. A wet dream is not a state of major ritual impurity. This happens to the Muslim. He has to perform the full ritual bath if something comes out of him. He has to perform the full ritual bath for the wet dream. Yes.
