Does nocturnal emission invalidate fasting?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: If a man has a nocturnal emission during the day, does it invalidate his fast?

Answer:
Nocturnal emission does not invalidate the fast because it is not by the person's choice. However, he must perform the full ritual bath to remove the state of major ritual impurity, and his fast remains valid because it was not by his choice. Yes.
