What is the ruling on one who finds wetness after sleeping without being aware of any semen coming out?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. This questioner asks: Does what comes out of the penis during sleep require the full ritual bath, even if it is not semen?

Answer:
Yes, if you find wetness after sleeping, the full ritual bath is obligatory, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)
"Water is for water'إنما الماء من الماء
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 112Da'if (Darussalam)
meaning that the full ritual bath is required from wet dreams if the fluid comes out, and it may come out while one is not aware of it due to sleep.
