حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ رُشَيْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا صَالِحُ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَالِكٍ الأَشْجَعِيُّ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : سَأَلَتِ امْرَأَةٌ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، عَنَ الْمَرْأَةِ ، تَرَى فِي مَنَامِهَا مَا يَرَى الرَّجُلُ فِي مَنَامِهِ ؟ فَقَالَ : " إِذَا كَانَ مِنْهَا مَا يَكُونُ مِنَ الرَّجُلِ فَلْتَغْتَسِلْ " .
Anas bin Malik (RA) reported: A woman asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) (way peace be upon him) about a woman who sees in her dream what a man sees in his dream (sexual dream). He (the Holy Prophet) said: If she experiences what a man experiences, she should take a bath.

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.

Benefits and Issues:
To take anything from something that is jointly owned by all people, without their permission, even if it is a trivial thing, is an extremely grave crime,
which nowadays people do not care about at all.
The epidemic of seizing public property or public places has become widespread,
and items obtained in the context of disasters such as floods,
earthquakes, etc., are consumed as if they were mother's milk,
whereas the one who does this is deprived even of the great rank of martyrdom,
therefore, it is necessary to avoid such actions.

فَاجْتَوَوُا:
To not prefer a place for oneself due to distress or illness.
According to some, without restriction,

This is derived from "jawa",
which is a disease of the stomach.

(4)

The plural of "mishqas",

Benefits and Issues:

(1)
Migration (hijrah) is a great virtue that becomes a cause for the forgiveness of a grave crime such as suicide,
which proves that even major sins can be forgiven and their perpetrator is not a disbeliever.
However, if for some reason forgiveness is not granted, then there will be punishment.

(2)
The positions of both the Khawarij/Mutazilah and the Murji’ah are incorrect;
a Muslim who commits a major sin is not condemned to Hell forever.
If Allah wills, He may forgive and send him straight to Paradise, or if He wills, He may admit him to Paradise after punishment.
Therefore, it is necessary to avoid sins.

(3)
A person is not independent and free in the use of his limbs and organs to treat them however he wishes.
Therefore, the buying and selling of human organs is not permissible,
except for risking one’s life solely for the pleasure of Allah.
