*Ramadan Day 14*
*What have you
learnt?*
Alhamdulilah!
Alhamdulilah!! Alhamdulilah!!!
We
thank Almighty Allah to spare our lives to witness this miraculous month
(Ramadan). Brothers and sisters in Islam.
*I
just want to remind myself and yours about ‘’ Wet dream during the day in Ramadaan, and the meaning of the hadeeth
“Bad dreams come from the Shaytaan”*
Question
When
I was fasting in ramadan I slept after fajir, and I had ISTIHLAM (Dream of
sexual intercorse) and I had a manu (clear liquid)coming out, my question is,
does my fasting for that day is excepted if I continued, even though I didn't
have control over it, my second question is that those kinds of dreams come from
the IBLESS, but IBLESS is locked in the skies in Ramadan?
Answer
Praise
be to Allaah.
Having a wet dream
during the day in Ramadaan does not invalidate the fast, because this is a
matter that is beyond a person’s control, and he cannot prevent it. Allaah says
(interpretation of the meaning):
“Allaah 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.”
See al-Mughni by Ibn
Qudaamah, vol. 3, p. 22
The Standing
Committee was asked about a man who had a wet dream during the day in Ramadaan
– what is the ruling on that? They replied:
Whoever has a wet
dream whilst he is fasting or is in a state of ihraam for Hajj or ‘Umrah, there
is no sin on him and he does not have to offer expiation (kafaarah). It does
not affect his fast, but he does have to do ghusl to cleanse himself from
janaabah (impurity) if maniy (semen) was emitted.
Fataawa al-Lajnah
al-Daa’imah, vol. 10, p. 274
Ihtilaam (wet dream)
means seeing intercourse in one’s dream.
This is one of the
things that Allaah has created in human nature for men and women alike. Hence
it was narrated from Umm Salamah the Mother of the Believers that she said:
“Umm Sulaym the wife of Abu Talhah came to the Messenger of Allaah (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) and said, ‘O Messenger of Allaah, verily
Allaah is not shy of (telling you) the truth. Is it necessary for a woman to
take a bath (ghusl) after she has a wet dream?’ The Messenger of Allaah (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, ‘Yes, if she notices a discharge.’”
(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, al-Ghusl, 373; Muslim, al-Hayd, 471).
What is meant by a
wet dream is when a person who is sleeping imagines intercourse.
And al-Bukhaari
narrated from Abu Salamah that Abu Qutaadah al-Ansaari said: “I heard the
Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: ‘Dreams
come from Allaah and bad dreams come from the Shaytaan. So if any one of you
sees a dream that he dislikes, let him spit drily to his left side and seek
refuge with Allaah from it, and it will not harm him.” (al-Ta’beer, 6488;
Muslim, al-Ru’yaa, 4196). This does not mean that the Shaytaan is the one who causes
that.
The fact that the
maarids (strong jinns) are chained up during Ramadaan does not mean that the
devils stop whispering into people’s hearts and urging them to do evil; but
that happens to a lesser extent in Ramadaan than in other months. The effects
of this are well known and can be seen.
Ibn Hajar said: the
fact that bad dreams are mentioned in conjunction with the Shaytaan means that
they share his characteristics of lying and exaggeration, etc., unlike true
dreams which are mentioned in conjunction with the name of Allaah by way of
honour, even though all of them are created and decreed by Allaah.Fath
al-Baari, 12/393.
