Wet Dream During The Day In Ramadan

  Question  

Does wet dream during the day in Ramadan invalidates fast?

  Answer  

Alhamdulillah..

Having a wet dream during the day in Ramadaan does not invalidate the fast, because this is a matter that is beyond a person’s control, and he cannot prevent it.

۩ Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): 

“Allaah burdens not a person beyond his scope”

Surah baqarah ﴾2﴿, verse- 286.

“If a man experiences a wet dream this does not invalidate his fast, because it was involuntary on his part; it is similar to the case when something enters his throat whilst he is sleeping.” 

See al-Mughni by Ibn Qudaamah, vol. 3, p. 22 

۩ The Standing Committee was asked about a man who had a wet dream during the day in Ramadaan – what is the ruling on that? 

They replied:

“Whoever has a wet dream whilst he is fasting or is in a state of ihraam for Hajj or ‘Umrah, there is no sin on him and he does not have to offer expiation (kafaarah). It does not affect his fast, but he does have to do ghusl to cleanse himself from janaabah (impurity) if maniy (semen) was emitted.”

Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah, vol. 10, p. 274.
