Answer:

Wet dream

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad(saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

Your Question: if one(either male or female) has a vision in his dream that leads him to having the same pleasure he gets from masturbation,what should he do?
When one has a wet-dream, it is obligatory upon the person to purify himself with a full bath or ghusl to enable him/her to offer his/her prayers.

A wet-dream is an unintentional natural act which the person neither has the control to start it, nor stop it; thus it will not be considered a sin.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your Brother in Islam,

Burhan
