If a person wakes up from sleep while fasting, whether male or female, and finds a trace of major ritual impurity, does this invalidate his fast?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. If a person sleeps while fasting in Ramadan or in another month, and wakes up to find a trace of major ritual impurity on himself, whether he is male or female, has his fast become invalid? And what is obligatory for him in that case? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Fasting is not invalidated by seminal emission, praise be to Allah. Allah says it is invalidated by intercourse, but seminal emission does not count against the fast, because it is not by the choice of the one fasting. He is only required to perform the full ritual bath, the bath for major ritual impurity, and his fast is valid, praise be to Allah.
