Performing wudhu when one is in need of fardh ghusal

Q: I was having a sleep over at my friends house and while sleeping there I had a wet dream. I couldn't make gusul, so I did a normal wudhu. Is this acceptable?

A: What you had done was incorrect. Ghusal was fardh upon you. If you had performed any salaah in this condition, you will have to repeat your salaah after performing ghusal. In future, to avoid this happening again you should refrain from sleepovers at friends homes.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
