Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man prayed Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha, then on the second day he realized he had experienced a nocturnal emission. Does he have to repeat those prayers?

Answer:
Yes, all the prayers he prayed without performing ghusl (the full ritual bath) due to the nocturnal emission, which is a state of major ritual impurity, he must repeat them because they are not valid. This is if the nocturnal emission means that he ejaculated and fluid came out of him. But if nothing came out of him, he owes nothing. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Water is only from water. This is regarding nocturnal emission. So the one who sees in a dream that he had intercourse, ifإنما الماء من الماء. هذا في الاحتلال. فالذي يرى في المنام أنه حصل منه جماع إن كان
If he finds something, then he must perform ghusl; but if he finds nothing, he does not have to perform ghusl. Yes.
