كتاب الحيضThe Book of Menstruation
باب وُجُوبِ الْغُسْلِ عَلَى الْمَرْأَةِ بِخُرُوجِ الْمَنِيِّ مِنْهَا:Chapter: Women are obliged to perform ghusl if they emit fluid
حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، أَنَّ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ حَدَّثَهُمْ ، أَنَّ أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ حَدَّثَتْ : أَنَّهَا سَأَلَتْ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، عَنَ الْمَرْأَةِ ، تَرَى فِي مَنَامِهَا مَا يَرَى الرَّجُلُ ؟ فَقَالَ َرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِذَا رَأَتْ ذَلِكِ الْمَرْأَةُ ، فَلْتَغْتَسِلْ " ، فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ : وَاسْتَحْيَيْتُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ ، قَالَتْ : وَهَلْ يَكُونُ هَذَا ؟ فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " نَعَمْ ، فَمِنْ أَيْنَ يَكُونُ الشَّبَهُ ؟ إِنَّ مَاءَ الرَّجُلِ غَلِيظٌ أَبْيَضُ ، وَمَاءَ الْمَرْأَةِ رَقِيقٌ أَصْفَرُ ، فَمِنْ أَيِّهِمَا عَلَا ، أَوْ سَبَقَ يَكُونُ مِنْهُ الشَّبَهُ " .
Anas bin Malik (RA) reported that Umm Sulaim narrated it that she asked the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) about a woman who sees in a dream what a man sees (sexual dream). The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: In case a woman sees that, she must take a bath. Umm Sulaim said: I was bashful on account of that and said: Does it happen? Upon this the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) said: Yes (it does happen), otherwise how can (a child) resemble her? Man's discharge (i. e. sperm) is thick and white and the discharge of woman is thin and yellow; so the resemblance comes from the one whose genes prevail or dominate.

Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
195. Commentary: Both men and women can experience dreams. In a dream, one may also see the act of intercourse, but ritual bath (ghusl) becomes obligatory only when semen (mani) is discharged, whether it is a man or a woman. If semen is not discharged, then even if complete intercourse occurred in the dream, ritual bath is not obligatory. And if, without a dream and without desire, semen is discharged during sleep, then ritual bath becomes obligatory, whether it is a man or a woman. Thus, in a wet dream (ihtilam), the cause for ritual bath is solely the discharge of semen, whether it is from a man or a woman.

therefore, it is necessary to avoid such actions.
