What should I do regarding my fast?
I am a 16yo male had a fantasy last night and masturbated(| mean I didn’t touch myself but it leaked) while was asleep after suhur is my fast valid?
Response from a “Fatima Counselor”:
As Salaam Alaikum, thank you for reaching out. AllahuAllam, may Allah forgive me for my shortcomings and misunderstandings, but it is the understandings of the sheikhs and scholars that should one have a wet dream while he is fasting that it does not affect his fast, however, he does have to do ghusul to cleanse himself from janaabah (impurity) if maniy (semen) was emitted. Elaborating on this, we’d like to furnish you with the following from the Quran “Allah burdens not a person beyond his scope” (Al-Baqarah 2:286) “If a man experiences a wet dream this does not invalidate his fast, because it was involuntary on his part; it is similar to the case when something enters his throat whilst he is sleeping.”
I hope this helps you. May Allah accept your fasts and reward you for your intentions.
Sincerely,
Your Sister in Islam,
Fatima “SD”
Response from your friend at Stones to Bridges:
Salaam, may your fasts and prayers during Ramadan be accepted. Typically if there is an involuntary ejaculation the fast is still valid. However you should check with the scholar you follow.
