Are frequent wet dreams and waking fantasies that cause the emission of fluids invalidating ablution and necessitating ghusl considered normal, or do they indicate a girl's misconduct? And how can one get rid of these fantasies that hinder worship? What are the characteristics of the fluid that necessitates ghusl?

No blame is attached to nocturnal emission (wet dream), as it is a normal occurrence. Ghusl (ritual bath) becomes obligatory if a woman sees semen. To treat fantasies, one should fill free time with what benefits them in religious and worldly matters, strive in du'a (supplication), engage in dhikr (remembrance of Allah), ponder over His names and attributes, and reflect on the Hereafter. Regarding discharges: if it is semen (maniyy), ghusl becomes obligatory. If it is pre-seminal fluid (madhiy), wudu' (ablution) becomes obligatory. If you are unsure between the two, you may choose between them.
