Is a married woman's nocturnal emission about someone other than her husband permissible or forbidden?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The sleeping person is not held accountable for what occurs from them while they are asleep, due to the : "The pen has been lifted from three: from the sleeper until he awakens..." And it is obligatory for a woman to perform if she experiences a wet dream and sees seminal fluid, due to the hadith of Umm Sulaym: "Is ghusl obligatory for a woman if she has a wet dream?" So the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Yes, if she sees water."
