Praying without a ghusl for fear of suspicion when a guest is present

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is it permissible for a person who slept at the home of a friend or a relative and woke up in a state of major ritual impurity to pray without performing the full ritual bath, out of fear of the suspicion that might be cast upon the guest?

Answer:
No, this is not permissible. It is not permissible
And if you are in a state of janabah, then purify yourselvesوَإِن كُنتُمْ جُنُبًا فَاطَّهَّرُوا
[Al-Ma'idah 5:6]
and you have water
and find no waterفَلَمْ تَجِدُوا مَاءً
[An-Nisa 4:43]
so he goes to this, and he has found water. It is obligatory for him. This wet dream is a known thing among people; there is nothing wrong with it. You tell him, "I had a wet dream," and he knows that you had a wet dream. There is no blame on you for this.
