Kapanlagi.com - Ramadan fasting is one of the obligatory worship for Muslims carried out during the month of Ramadan. In fasting, Muslims are required to abstain from eating, drinking, and intimate relations from dawn until sunset. In Islamic teachings, there are several things that can invalidate fasting, one of them is the emission of semen for men. So, what about wet dreams which often happen unintentionally and beyond control?

As is known, Islam is a very tolerant religion. Islam provides many conveniences for its followers. In some cases that are considered wrong from a religious perspective, the sin value can be waived if it is done unintentionally or without the knowledge of the person doing it. Does the same apply to wet dreams during the day while fasting?

Does wet dreams during the day while fasting not invalidate fasting? To find out the answer, just read the following review:

1. Explanation of Wet Dreams During Daytime Fasting

Wet dream during the day while fasting is often a topic of discussion during Ramadan. Many are confused and curious about the legal explanation regarding this matter. It is feared that this could invalidate the fast and must be made up for later.

As reported from the nu.or.id website, in his book titled 'Answering 99 Questions', an Egyptian scholar named Sheikh Ali Jum'ah explained his view on wet dreams experienced by a man during the day while fasting. According to him, if a Muslim man has a wet dream while fasting in Ramadan, it will not invalidate his fast.

Sheikh Ali Jum'ah explained that a person who is sleeping is considered not responsible, like a child or a mad person, and therefore not bound by Allah's rules in that condition.

However, furthermore, Sheikh Ali Jum'ah revealed that when a person who is fasting has a dream and experiences a wet dream, when waking up from sleep, he must immediately perform ritual bathing. Only after that, he can continue his fast until sunset. Therefore, just like a fasting that is not invalidated, there is no obligation for them to pay off their fasting debt.

2. Invalidation of Fasting Due to Ejaculation

As mentioned earlier, ejaculation is one of the things that invalidate the fasting of a Muslim man. However, it turns out that this does not apply to wet dreams that occur involuntarily.

Still according to nu.or.id, in the book Nihayatuz Zain, Sheikh Nawawi also explains that someone's fasting will become invalidated or invalid if there is an ejaculation, if it occurs due to direct contact between the skin as a sense organ and another object. For example, such as kissing, holding hands, or genital contact with an object that leads to ejaculation.

3. Things That Definitely Invalidate Fasting

Outside the discussion of whether wet dreams invalidate fasting, in Islam, it is known that there are several things that are confirmed to invalidate or nullify fasting. Every Muslim must know these things in order to anticipate and maintain the fasting worship that is carried out. Here are the things that are confirmed to invalidate fasting:

1. Intentionally consuming food or drink without a permissible reason in religion.

2. Engaging in sexual intercourse between spouses from dawn until sunset.

3. Deliberately vomiting the contents of the stomach.

4. Inserting objects into the ear or nose intentionally, reaching the throat or stomach.

5. Experiencing menstrual bleeding or postpartum bleeding in women.

6. Ejaculating semen due to sexual activity for men.

7. Undergoing blood transfusion or receiving liquid nutrition into the body through injection or other means.

8. Intentionally breaking the fast without a justified reason in religion.

Those are among the explanations regarding the legal explanation of wet dreams during fasting that apparently do not invalidate it. Hopefully, it is beneficial, can increase knowledge, and can enhance faith as a Muslim. Amen.
