What should I do if I have a wet dream and cannot perform ghusl due to the unavailability of a suitable place, nor tayammum because water is present, thus preventing me from praying all day?

A Muslim in a state of ritual impurity (junub) must perform (full ritual bath) for prayer if water is available and they are able to use it. The claim of not having a place to perform ghusl is not acceptable, as ghusl is valid in any place while covering one's nakedness. Mere shyness is not an excuse to abandon ghusl. If ghusl is completely impossible, then one should wash as much of the body as possible, then perform (dry ablution) and pray.
