What is the ruling on one who experiences a nocturnal emission during the day in Ramadan?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A questioner says: A man slept with his wife on a day in Ramadan, and he was fasting. He did not have a nocturnal emission, but then he overstepped during his sleep. Does he have to make up the fast?
The Shaykh : The answer is that he does not have to make up the fast, because the emission that occurs during sleep is not by the person's own action. There is no difference between having causes for it, such as waking up early or the like, and then it happening during his sleep. The important point is that this semen that came out came out while he was sleeping. Therefore, he does not have to make up the fast, and his fast is valid.
