Is a married woman's nocturnal emission about someone other than her husband permissible or forbidden?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The sleeping person is not held accountable for what occurs from them while they are asleep, due to the hadith: "The pen has been lifted from three: from the sleeper until he awakens..." And it is obligatory for a woman to perform ghusl if she experiences a wet dream and sees seminal fluid, due to the hadith of Umm Sulaym: "Is ghusl obligatory for a woman if she has a wet dream?" So the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Yes, if she sees water."
