Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Or rather, a man says that he felt he had a wet dream in his sleep, but when he woke up, he did not find any moisture. Is the full ritual bath (ghusl) for major ritual impurity (janabah) obligatory upon him?

Answer:
No, as long as he did not find any trace of the wet dream, he owes nothing. The mere fact that he felt he had a wet dream and nothing came out means he owes nothing. Yes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Water is from water, meaning that it is obligatory to perform the full ritual bath (ghusl) with water due to the emission of water during a wet dream.الماء من الماء يعني يجب الاغتسال بالماء من خروج الماء في الاحتلام.
Yes.
