Wet Dream for the Fasting Person

Question
If my son, who is of puberty age, wakes up during Ramadan and finds himself in a wet dream, should he break his fast or continue fasting, and when should he perform the ritual washing?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: wet dreams do not invalidate fasting, and not performing ghusl (ritual washing) does not affect fasting; rather, ghusl is for the purpose of prayer, and God knows best.
