English translation

236. ‘Aishah said that the Prophet ﷺ was asked about a person who finds some wetness (on his clothes), but does not remember having a wet-dream (what should he do)? (The Prophet ﷺ) said: “He should perform Ghusl.” And (he was also asked about) a person who remembered having a wet-dream but did not find any wetness. He said: “Ghusl is not obligatory for him.” Umm Sulaim said: “If a woman sees that (sort of dream), must she perform Ghusl?” He replied: “Yes. Women are indeed the twin-halves of men.” (Da'if)

Arabic text

236 - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الْخَيَّاطُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ الْعُمَرِيُّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَجِدُ الْبَلَلَ وَلَا يَذْكُرُ احْتِلَامًا. قَالَ: «يَغْتَسِلُ»، وَعَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَرَى أَنَّهُ قَدْ احْتَلَمَ وَلَا يَجِدُ الْبَلَلَ. قَالَ: «لَا غُسْلَ عَلَيْهِ» فَقَالَتْ: أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ الْمَرْأَةُ تَرَى ذَلِكَ أَعَلَيْهَا غُسْلٌ؟ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ. إِنَّمَا النِّسَاءُ شَقَائِقُ الرِّجَالِ»

Commentary

If a person wakes up and finds some wetness, he or she is to perform Ghusl, whether they remember a sexual dream or not, provided they do not know that it is only urine. If this is the case, it is not obligatory to perform Ghusl.
