The Equivalence of the Bath for Wet Dreams and the Bath for Sexual Intercourse

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks another question, saying: Is the bath for wet dreams similar to the bath for sexual intercourse?

Answer:
Yes, it is the same. If he sees the water, if the one who has a wet dream sees the water, which is semen, then the full ritual bath is obligatory for him. The woman and the man are equal in this, based on what is in the two Sahihs from Umm Salimah (may Allah be pleased with her) and from Anas, that Umm Sulaym asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said:
O Messenger of Allah! Allah is not shy of the truth. Does the woman have to take the full ritual bath if she has a wet dream? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes, if she sees the water.يا رسول الله! إن الله لا يستحي من الحق، هل على المرأة من غسل إذا هي احتلمت؟ فقال ﷺ: نعم إذا هي رأت الماء
meaning: the semen.
And the scholars agreed that if she does not see the water, or if the man does not see the water, meaning the semen, then the full ritual bath is not obligatory for him. The full ritual bath is only required from the water:
Water is from waterالماء من الماء
except in the case of intercourse while awake. If he has intercourse, even if he does not see the water, he must take the full ritual bath. If he has intercourse with his wife, meaning if he inserts his private part into her private part, then he must take the full ritual bath, and she must take the full ritual bath, even if there is no emission, and even if there is no semen. This is based on his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):
When the circumcised part touches the circumcised part, ghusl is obligatory.إذا مس الختان الختان؛ فقد وجب الغسل
Muwatta Malik 2:72
and his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):
If one lies on his wife and compresses her, washing is necessary, even if he does not insert his penis.إذا جلس بين شعبها الأربع، ثم جهدها؛ فقد وجب الغسل، وإنْ لم ينزل
Mishkat al-Masabih 430
Yes.
