The question

What is a wet dream for girls? If a girl sees a part of another's body without any action or feeling of semen exiting, is it considered a wet dream? How does a girl distinguish semen upon waking, given the continuous presence of uterine discharge? Is a girl considered to be in a state of janabah if she sees something like this in her dream while menstruating? Is it permissible for her to remember Allah and recite the Quran at that time?

The answer

Nocturnal emission is the imagination of the sexual act in a dream, and it occurs for both men and women. If semen is discharged, ghusl (ritual bath) becomes obligatory; otherwise, it does not. The proof for this is the hadith of Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her), in which the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Yes, if she sees the water."

A woman's semen is thin and yellow, and its smell is like that of dough. Pleasure is attained upon its discharge, followed by a decrease in desire, unlike the continuous transparent uterine secretions.

If a menstruating woman experiences nocturnal emission and sees the water, it is permissible for her to perform ghusl for janabah (ritual impurity due to sexual discharge) to benefit from the permissibility of reciting the Qur'an without touching the Mus'haf, as a person in a state of janabah is prohibited from reciting the Qur'an, unlike a menstruating woman.
