Does a wet dream affect the fast of a menstruating woman in Ramadan?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It appears from the question that the wet dream occurred during menstruation, and in this case, there is no point in asking about the effect of the wet dream on fasting; because a menstruating woman is not permitted to fast in the first place, and a wet dream has no effect on fasting.

As for the question about a wet dream and its effect on a menstruating woman reciting the Quran, a menstruating woman is permitted to recite the Quran without touching the Mushaf. However, a wet dream prevents one from reciting the Quran. So, if a menstruating woman experiences a wet dream, she is prohibited from reciting the Quran until she performs ghusl al-janaba.
