Ghusl compulsory after nocturnal dream? Ejaculation breaks wudu?
Question
1. Recently i had a situation in which i did not know what to do I woke up in for the fajr prayer and noticed that i had nightfall and i was impure, i could have gone to the washroom and done ghusl but it was late and there was just enough time to pray 2 rakaats farz fajr so i didnt pray...also my mom was forcing me to pray fajr but i couldnt tell her that i was impure so if this kind of situation happens to me agai, what should i do?
2. Does ejaculation break wuzu?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu `alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
Nightfall (wetdreams) makes one completely impure (najis).[1]
In order to purify oneself , ghusl is compulsory. (Bahishti Zewar, pg. 71 – Zam Zam Pub., Ed. 2005)
Complete ghusl entails water touching the entire body. The mouth and nostrils should also be rinsed during ghusl.[2]
You should try and wake up early enough for Fajr Salah to allow for ghusl if nightfall is experienced.
And Allah knows best.
