'Wet Dream' During On Board
Tuesday, November 11, 2008 | Author: Muhammad Al Adib

Travelling from coast to coast will make us feel tired and eventually our mind will get shut easily. Zzzzz.... dream after dream; and a 'wet dream'. After we get up, how to purify our body since 'no shower' rule in the WC rooms.

The basic rule is anyone who becomes junub as the result of a wet dream or sexual intercourse has to do ghusl, because Allah says:

“O you who believe! When you intend to offer As-Salaah (the prayer), wash your faces and your hands (forearms) up to the elbows, rub (by passing wet hands over) your heads, and (wash) your feet up to the ankles. If you are in a state of Janaaba (i.e. after a sexual discharge), purify yourselves (bathe your whole body)”

[al-Maa’idah 5:6]

If he cannot do ghusl because there is no water available, or because he is not able to use it, then he should do tayammum and pray, because Allaah says:

“But if you are ill or on a journey, or any of you comes after answering the call of nature, or you have been in contact with women (i.e. sexual intercourse), and you find no water, then perform Tayammum with clean earth and rub therewith your faces and hands. Allaah does not want to place you in difficulty, but He wants to purify you, and to complete His Favour to you that you may be thankful”

[al-Maa’idah 5:6].

Then, whoever is not able to do ghusl because he is sick or it is very cold, or no water such as on board condition; may do tayammum instead and he does not have to repeat his prayers, because of the hadeeth of ‘Amr ibn al-‘Aas who said:

 “I had a wet dream on a cold night during the campaign of Dhaat al-Salaasil, and I was scared that if I did ghusl I might die. So I did tayammum and prayed, then in the morning my companions mentioned that to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). He said, ‘O ‘Amr, you led your companions in prayer when you were junub.’ I told him what had kept me from doing ghusl and I said, ‘I heard that Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “And do not kill yourselves. Surely, Allaah is Most Merciful to you” [al-Nisa’ 4:29].’ The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) smiled and did not say anything.”

(Narrated by Abu Dawood, 334; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood, 323).
