Does nocturnal emission invalidate the state of ihram?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question: If a person has a nocturnal emission while in the state of ihram, what is the ruling? And what is required of him? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer: In the name of Allah, and all praise is due to Allah. If a person has a nocturnal emission while in the state of ihram and releases semen, he must perform the full ritual bath (ghusl), and he owes nothing else. His ihram is valid and nothing harms him, because it was not by his choice. Likewise, a person fasting in Ramadan or otherwise, if he has a nocturnal emission, his fast is valid. However, if he releases semen, he must perform the full ritual bath for major ritual impurity (janabah).
