When should a woman perform ghusl and prayer if she had a wet dream but only experienced a seminal emission the following day?
If a woman sees that she has had a wet dream and wakes up finding no trace of semen, then there is no (ritual bath) upon her by consensus. However, if she finds wetness, ghusl becomes obligatory upon her.
If she sees semen a day after the wet dream, it is unlikely to be a result of it due to the long interval. In such a case, it is attributed to the nearest time of its appearance. If she sees it after sleep, ghusl is obligatory upon her. If it is discharged while awake and with desire and pleasure, ghusl is obligatory upon her; otherwise, it is not, except according to the Shafi'is.
If she sees that she had a wet dream but finds no wetness, and then semen is discharged shortly after walking or the like, ghusl becomes obligatory upon her, as it is apparent that it is from the wet dream and its discharge was delayed.
