Whoever had a Sexual Dream, but did not find any Wetness
Question :
A person dreamed that he had sex with his mother while he was sleeping. After he awoke, he did not find any evidence of ejaculation, but he remembers that he dreamt that he actually had intercourse with her. In spite of this, he made Ghusl just to be sure. However this dream of sex with his mother disturbed him very much and he began to wonder what was the explanation of it. I request clarification as quickly as possible, and is there any meaning to this, and is anything entailed by it?
Answer:
It is not required to make Ghusl due to the dream if he did not find any wetness, according to the Hadith which states:
"Water is only from water.
If a person finds sperm on his clothing or his skin, he must make Ghusl, even if he does not remember any sexual dream, as this has been narrated in the Sunan from 'A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her. As for one who dreams of his mother, it does not harm him, and it would be explained as meaning great love, kindness and obedience, and there is no cause for alarm in that.
