Summary
A person who dreams of intercourse or something similar but finds no semen discharged does not need to perform the obligatory bath. This is based on the hadith of Ummu Sulaim, which ties the obligation to seeing the fluid, meaning the discharge of semen. If semen is found after the dream, the obligatory bath is required.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Bagi seseorang yang bermimpi melakukan perbuatan seperti berjima' dan seumpamanya, namun tidak keluar air mani maka dia tidak perlu untuk mandi wajib.
