Is It Sinful To Have A Wet Dream?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Seekersguidance.org

Question:

Asalamu Alaikum.

Can it be sinful at all if someone has a wet dream? On the one hand, the dream may contain sexual images/thoughts, yet on the other hand, the person has no control.

Answer:

Wa ‘alaykum assalam wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh.

I pray you are well.

No, it is not sinful to have a wet dream. One cannot control the matter and is only responsible for performing a ghusl afterward so that none of the obligatory prayers are missed. (Shurunbulali, Nur al Idah)

May Allah bless you with the best of both worlds.
