The question

Is ghusl required for a woman who experienced a wet dream during the day in Ramadan and found yellowish discharge with a foul odor days later, while being unsure about the emission of semen? And is she required to make up the past days of fasting and her acts of worship if ghusl was obligatory and she did not perform it?

The answer

A wet dream does not invalidate the fast, because it is involuntary, and a person should not prevent themselves from ejaculating during it. As for the discharge with a bad odor and vaginal inflammation that the questioner is experiencing, it appears not to be maniy (seminal fluid), so ghusl (ritual bath) is not required, nor is repeating prayers. However, if she performs ghusl and repeats the prayers she performed, as a precaution, it would be better for her and would ward off waswas (obsessive whispering). The fast is valid even if maniy was discharged from her.
