The ruling on the full ritual bath when wetness is seen in a dream
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : the dream. He found wetness
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : and he does not remember any dream and does not remember anything at all, is there an obligation on him?
The Shaykh : it dissolves and no ghusl?
The questioner : I.
The Shaykh : He owes no ghusl unless he is certain that it is semen.
The questioner : alone.
The Shaykh : As for when there is a wet dream and he finds the fluid, it is treated as semen, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), when asked if a woman owes a ghusl if she has a wet dream, said: Yes, if she sees the fluid. Yes. Yes.
The questioner : That is, if a person sleeps, for example, and sees wetness but does not remember any speech, how do we say that he owes no ghusl? That is, where does this wetness come from? Where does the wetness come from?
The Shaykh : until he is certain that it is semen.
The questioner : All right.
The Shaykh : Sometimes it differs; there is a difference between semen and other fluids. So now, since you are not certain, perhaps a person in a dream is holding his urine, for example, and sees in his dream that he is urinating, or perhaps he is urinating, or it is pre-seminal fluid, or if it is in the days of summer, it is sweat. As long as we do not have certainty, we do not make it obligatory on him.
