What is the ruling on a wet dream or ejaculation that occurs during sleep, accompanied by some awareness and the ability to desist, despite not having any bad intentions before sleeping?

The sleeper is not held accountable. If thoughts and imaginations occur to you during sleep, there is no sin upon you, as you are unable to repel them. However, if you are awake, you must repel these imaginations and thoughts, out of concern for the well-being of your heart.
