Does squeezing the penis to expel residual semen after a wet dream during the daytime in Ramadan invalidate the fast and necessitate making it up?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The emission of semen during the day due to a nocturnal emission (wet dream) does not invalidate the fast. Similarly, if one had intercourse at night and then semen was emitted during the day, the fast remains valid. Ibn Qudamah said: "If he had intercourse at night, and semen was emitted after he woke up (in the morning), his fast is not broken, because he did not cause it during the day." If semen is emitted after (ritual bath) without desire, it does not necessitate a new ghusl, according to the preponderant opinion, because it is from the same semen. However, if it is emitted with desire, then ghusl is obligatory.
