If one experiences a wet dream during the day in Ramadan, does he have to make up that day, or does he take a bath and complete his fast with nothing required of him?

The questioner : He says: If one experiences a wet dream during the day in Ramadan, does he have to make up that day, or does he take a bath and complete his fast with nothing required of him?

The Shaykh : Yes, he takes a bath and completes his fast, and nothing is required of him. This is because a wet dream, even if it results in ejaculation, does not break the fast of the one who is fasting, because it occurred without his choice. One of the conditions for breaking the fast with things that break it is that the fasting person must be choosing and intending this invalidating factor. If he is not choosing it and not intending it, then it does not break his fast. The one who is not choosing is the one who is coerced, the sleeper, and the like of them. The one who is not intending is what the scholars exemplified by saying: if something that breaks the fast flies to his throat and he is unable to expel it, and it goes down into his stomach, then it does not break his fast because he did not intend it. Yes.
