Is what an unmarried woman feels in her sleep—of a man having intercourse with her—a wet dream, and do women have wet dreams, or is it a touch from Satan?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

A woman experiences a wet dream just as a man does, and she must perform ghusl (ritual bath) if she sees fluid, based on the hadith of Umm Sulaym and Umm Salamah. Her wet dream may also be due to fantasies and illusions from Satan, or due to possession by jinn. In this case, dhikr (remembrance of Allah), recitation of the Quran, and lawful ruqyah (exorcism) are beneficial.
