Does dreaming of having sex with people, four days after drinking water over which the Quran was recited with the intention of healing, indicate the presence of a Jinn?

No-fault wet dreams can be natural, or caused by Satan, or by excessive thoughts of sexual matters. They can also occur due to an abundance and strength of semen. It is recommended to stay away from unlawful things and to occupy one's time with beneficial knowledge, good deeds, or exercise. Marriage is desirable for whoever can afford it; otherwise, one should fast, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever among you can afford to marry, let him marry, for it helps him lower his gaze and guard his chastity. And whoever cannot afford to do so, let him fast, for it will be a shield for him." No consequences result from wet dreams, and ruqyah is beneficial for whatever afflicts a person. A Muslim should fortify himself with adhkar, especially the remembrances of morning and evening, entering the bathroom, sleeping, and waking up.
