The answer

A sleeping person is not held accountable for what occurs in their sleep. However, they are held accountable for what happens while awake. Masturbation (al-istimna') is forbidden. (ritual bath) is only required upon seeing fluid, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Yes, if she sees the fluid."
