Question: Assalamu ‘alaykum. I fear to sleep every time because I fear that I might have a wet dream and discharge. Are there any cures/remedies to stop having wet dreams that will lead to discharge? Are wet dreams a sign of Jinn possession? If so, what are the cures of it?
Answer:
Wa ‘alaykum assalam wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh.
I pray you are well.
There is no need to be afraid of having a discharge after a wet dream. It is something natural, and it is not harmful nor blameworthy. It is, also, not a sign of jinn possession.
Relax. Enjoy the rest you get from your sleep. See it as a gift from God. As for the wet dream, see it as an opportunity to get closer to Allah. Performing a ghusl is obligatory after a wet dream, and “Indeed Allah loves those who repeatedly repent and those who purify themselves.” (Qur’an, 2:222)
When you feel afraid, see the wet dream as an opportunity to purify yourself, and to get one step closer to being loved by Allah. May Allah remove your anxieties.
