Hadith 856
اُردوEn
(وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) قَالَ: إِنَّ خَوْلَةَ بِنْتَ حَكِيمٍ السُّلَمِيَّةَ وَهُوَ إِحْدَى خَالَاتِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَأَلَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الْمَرْأَةِ تَحْتَلِمُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((لِتَغْتَسِلْ))
(Second chain) Sayyida Khawla bint Hakim Sulamiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her), who was an aunt of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), asked him (peace and blessings be upon him) about a woman who experiences a wet dream. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: She should perform ghusl (ritual bath).
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … From these hadiths it is understood that both men and women can experience nocturnal emission (ihtilam), and due to this, the ritual bath (ghusl) of major impurity (janabah) becomes obligatory. For nocturnal emission (ihtilam), the occurrence or non-occurrence of a dream is not the criterion; rather, the presence of wetness or a stain on the clothes or body is what matters. When, after sleep, a person sees the effects of nocturnal emission on their body or clothes, then they must perform the ritual bath (ghusl) of major impurity (janabah), whether or not they remember having a dream. Similarly, if someone has such a dream, but no trace is found on the body or clothes, then the ritual bath (ghusl) is not obligatory.
