Question 85219

I left my house one morning to do some errand, and when the time for Zuhr approached, I remembered that I had had a wet dream whilst I was asleep after Fajr prayer, and I was now junub but unable to do ghusl. So I did tayammum in order to purify myself of major impurity, then I did wudoo

Answer

Full Ablution
