Summary of question

If someone becomes Junub while asleep, what kind of Ghusl should they make?

question

If someone becomes Junub while asleep, what kind of Ghusl should they make?
Also if after one awakens, while they are still at their sexuality peak, and commence to masturbate what type of Ghusl should they make?

Concise answer

In both instances, one is required to execute the janabah ghusl. Note that such a ghusl is obligatory whenever semen is ejaculated (as well as in other situations) – be it during sleep or whilst awake (as in the case of masturbation). Moreover, ghusls of a non-janabah genre – such as the ghusls for touching (skin contact-wise) the deceased (corpse)… – are executed identically to that of janabah ghusls; only the intention (niyyah) differs.
