Dream - Wet dreams, known as ihtilam in Islam, refer to dreaming until ejaculation. As it is known, ejaculation itself is a major impurity, and when purifying oneself, it is obligatory to take a full bath. Once you have performed the obligatory bath, my friend Dream can resume performing prayer in a state of purity. However, what if one has a wet dream while fasting? Does it invalidate the fast? Intentionally ejaculating certainly nullifies the fast.

This term is often associated with intense erotic dreams or fantasies, which then unintentionally lead to physical responses. Wet dreams usually occur in males, although females can also experience similar physical responses in their erotic dreams. This is a normal part of a person's sexual development and usually does not cause health problems, although it can make someone feel embarrassed or confused when experiencing it for the first time.

The reason is that the occurrence of wet dreams is not the will of the person experiencing it. In this case, there are some that are voluntary and some that are involuntary. Furthermore, wet dreams that occur during sleep happen because someone is unable to control their dreams. Moreover, dreams experienced by humans are normal and natural occurrences in the body due to hormonal changes. The occurrence of wet dreams is similar to when someone vomits unintentionally or undergoes cupping therapy, where all of these do not invalidate fasting. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "

"Three things that do not invalidate the fast: cupping, vomiting, and nocturnal emission." (HR. At-Tirmidzi) Furthermore, it is explained in Bidayatul Mujtahid wa Nihayatul Muqtashid by Ibn Rushd that the majority of scholars agree that being in a state of major impurity (junub) does not invalidate the fast. "Indeed, the Prophet Muhammad SAW once experienced major impurity (junub) during the Fajr prayer in the month of Ramadan because he had sexual intercourse the night before, not because of a dream. And he fasted (without performing the ritual bath before dawn)."

Although so, Dream's friend still has to perform obligatory ablution. Considering that the requirements to be able to perform prayers and be valid are to be in a state of purity from major and minor impurities.
