The secret habit: Is it a cause for the full ritual bath?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Is the secret habit a cause for the full ritual bath?

Answer:
Yes, if he emits, whether by the secret habit or otherwise, if he emits in a flow with pleasure, the full ritual bath is obligatory for him. The criterion is the flow with pleasure, whether through intercourse or otherwise; it makes the full ritual bath obligatory for him. Or if he has a wet dream at night, and water comes out of him, the full ritual bath is obligatory for him as well. Even if he says, "I swear by Allah, I did not feel any pleasure; I was sleeping and did not know," we say, yes, you must take the full ritual bath, because the sleeper does not know; he does not know about pleasure or anything else. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Water is from water," meaning that the full ritual bath is required due to the emission of water. This is with regard to wet dreams, because the one who wakes up feels it, but the sleeper does not feel it. Yes.
