What is the ruling on a wet dream and the emission of semen, what is the ruling on the clothes in which one had a wet dream, and is it permissible to wear them or must they be purified?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The pen is lifted from the sleeper, so there is no accountability for what occurs during sleep. The sleeper is only required to perform (ritual bath) if semen is discharged, and is not obligated to purify the clothes in which he had a wet dream, because semen is pure.
