If one has a wet dream during the day in , their fast is valid, and they are not considered to have intentionally caused semen to be emitted if the wet dream occurred in their sleep. It is obligatory for a Muslim to lower their gaze from everything forbidden to look at, in compliance with the words of Allah Almighty: "Tell the believing men to reduce [some] of their gaze and guard their private parts. That is purer for them. Indeed, Allah is Acquainted with what they do" [An-Nur: 30], and this is particularly emphasized during the month of Ramadan.
