One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:
Assalaamoalaikum
brother,
i am a
bit confused with the dreams i get. these dreams especially come whenever i
take a short nap after my sahur during fasting time, whether it be ramadan or
other nafl fasts. i always feel a human form of man approaching and sitting
besides my bedside. he tries to strangle my throat and i get choked. i try to
move my hands and body but cant. i then start reciting the ayahs of Holy Quran
within my heart and after few minutes things are normal. i was fasting
yesterday and today also. unfortunately i got the same type of dreams both the days
after sahur. and this time i got an eerie feeling that that human form is
trying to molest me. as a result my sexual feeling aroused in my sleep. i again
started reciting ayat al kursi in my heart and after few minutes all was normal
and i opened my eyes. though i did not get wet not there was any discharge. but
i am still feeling bad about it. does this invalidate my fast? i read all the
Quls and Aayat al Qursi before everytime i go to sleep. but these bad dreams
are becoming a problem. what can this exactly be ? can you tell me some wazifa
for getting rid of such dreams. alternatively i have decided to stay awake
after my sahur henceforth.
PLEASE
ANSWER AT THE EARLIEST AND KEEP MY NAME AND EMAIL ID UNDISCLOSED.

Answer:
Wet dream fast
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 none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 9.144 Narrated by Abu Huraira
Allah's Messenger (saws) said, "When the
Day of Resurrection approaches, the dreams of a true believer will hardly fail
to come true, and a dream of a believer is one of forty-six parts of
Prophetism, and whatever belongs to Prothetism can never be false."
Muhammad bin Sirin said, "But I say this." He said, "It used to
be said, 'There are three types of dreams:
- The
reflection of one's thoughts and experiences one has during wakefulness,
- what
is suggested by the Shaytaan to frighten the dreamer,
- or
glad tidings from Allah.
So, if someone has a dream which he dislikes,
he should not tell it to others, but get up and offer a prayer.'"
In light of the above hadith, if one has a good dream then
it is always from Allah Subhanah in the form of good tidings. Whenever one experiences good dreams and good
tidings, one must be grateful to Allah Subhanah and redouble his efforts in
doing good righteous deeds to make himself more deserving of the honor which
their Lord Most Merciful has bestowed upon them.
If one has an evil or frightening dream, it is, without an
iota of a doubt, from the accursed Shaytaan.
One should immediately take refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytaan,
disregard the dream and never mention the dream to anyone, for it will never be
able to harm him.
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 9.168 Narrated by Abu Salama
I used to see a dream which would make me
sick till I heard Abu Qatada saying, "I too, used to see a dream which
would make me sick till I heard the Prophet (saws) saying, "A good dream
is from Allah, so if anyone of you saw a dream which he liked, he should not
tell it to anybody except to the one whom he loves, and if he saw a dream which
he disliked, then he should seek refuge with Allah from its evil and from the
evil of the Shaytaan, and spit three times (on his left) and should not tell it
to anybody, for it will not harm him."
Dear and beloved Sister in Islam, from the contents of the
dream it is evident that the dream you experienced are evil dreams with which
the Shaytaan tries to despair, frighten, and scare mankind. All you need to do is keep your full and
absolute trust and belief in your Lord Most Merciful, remain constant in
seeking refuge in your Lord Most High from the evil of the accursed Shaytaan,
strive to recite the ‘Muawidaat’ (113th Surah Al-Falaq and the 112th
Surah An-Naas), and the ‘Aayat-ul-Kursi (Baqarah 255) as often as you can and
especially when you go to bed…...it is expected that your Lord Most High, Most
Majestic will protect you and your family from every harm and every evil.
Your Question:
though i did not get wet not there was any discharge. but i am still feeling
bad about it. does this invalidate my fast?
Although intentional ejaculation (sexual intercourse,
masturbation, etc.) does indeed invalidate one’s fast, un-intentional
ejaculation (or wet-dream) does not invalidate one’s fast in Shariah.
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 3.153 Narrated by Abu Bakr bin Abdur Rahman
My father and I went to 'Aisha and she said,
"I testify that Allah's Messenger (saws), at times, used to get up in the
morning in a state of ‘Janaba’ (major ceremonial impurity) from sexual
intercourse, not from a wet dream, and then he (saws) would fast that
day." Then he went to Um Salama and she also narrated a similar thing.
Although being in the state of purity is an absolute
pre-condition before one offers their prayer, being in the state of ceremonial
purity is not a pre-condition for starting a fast in Shariah. If
one has sexual intercourse in the night, or experiences a wet-dream during
one’s sleep at night, and only wakes up after the time of ‘fajr’ is due, there
is absolutely no harm in maintaining and continuing their fast.
If one experiences a wet-dream while sleeping, wakes up
and takes the ‘suhoor’ meal, and performs the ‘ghusl’ or full bath of
purification after the time of ‘fajr’ is due…the fast of such a person would be
absolutely valid and acceptable in the Sight of Allah Subhanah, Insha
Allah.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to
Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only
Source of Strength.
