Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Umm Salamah narrates that once Hazrat Umm Sulaim came to the service of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked, "If a woman sees in her dream what a man sees, what should she do?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "If she sees water, she should perform ghusl (ritual bath)." I said to Umm Sulaim, "You have disgraced women; does a woman also have a wet dream?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "May you be bereft! Then why does the child resemble the mother?"

Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that Umm Sulaym asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about a woman who sees in a dream what a man sees. He replied, "If she sees that and experiences ejaculation, then ghusl (ritual bath) is obligatory upon her." Hazrat Umm Salamah said, "O Messenger of Allah! Does this also happen?" He replied, "Yes. A man's fluid is thick and white, and a woman's fluid is thin and yellowish. Whose fluid prevails, the child resembles that one."

Hazrat Saeed bin Musayyib narrates that Hazrat Khawla bint Hakim asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about a woman who sees in a dream what a man sees. He said, "Ghusl is not obligatory upon her until she experiences emission, just as ghusl is not obligatory upon a man until he experiences emission."

Once, a woman named Busrah asked the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), "O Messenger of Allah! If any woman among us sees in a dream that she is with her husband, what should she do?" He replied, "O Busrah! When you see discharge, then perform ghusl (ritual bath)."

Hazrat Umm Sulaym asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), "O Messenger of Allah! If a woman sees in a dream what a man sees, is ghusl (ritual bath) obligatory upon her?" He said, "Did she feel desire?" She replied, "Perhaps." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Does she see wetness?" She replied, "Perhaps." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Then she should perform ghusl." Afterwards, some women met Hazrat Umm Sulaym and said, "You have disgraced us before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." She replied, "I cannot refrain from asking about what is lawful and unlawful."

Hazrat Mujahid says: If a woman sees in a dream what a man sees, then she should perform ghusl (ritual bath).

Hazrat Salim, Hazrat Mujahid, and Hazrat Ata say that if a woman also sees in a dream what a man sees, then she should perform ghusl.

Ibrahim used to deny the occurrence of wet dreams in women.
