What Is a Wet Dream For a Woman?

Answered by Shaykh Abdul-Rahim Reasat

Question

What is meant by a wet dream for a woman? If she sees no discharge on the tissue upon waking but when she dabs the tissue in her private part, there is what looks like the average amount of discharge she usually gets.

Does she still need ghusl if she does not know what mani looks like?

What is the description of mani for a woman?

Answer

I pray you are well.

A wet dream for a lady is that she has a discharge of sexual fluid whilst asleep. She doesn’t have to remember a particular dream or anything like that. This discharge would differ from the normal discharge in consistency and volume. 

No ghusl is required if she only sees what she usually sees of discharge. (Shurunbulali, Maraqi al Falah)

May Allah grant you the best of both worlds.
