Is feeling a slight pulse during sleep, without the emission of fluid, a symptom of previous masturbation, and does it necessitate ghusl and making up the day's fast if it occurs during Ramadan?
The mere sensation of pleasure, whether during sleep or wakefulness, does not necessitate ghusl (ritual bathing) as long as semen has not been discharged. If a woman sees fluid after a wet dream, ghusl becomes obligatory for her, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Yes, if she sees the fluid." If a fasting person has a wet dream during their sleep, whether with or without seminal discharge, their fast is not invalidated, and they are not required to make up that day.
