Is it permissible to change one’s ihraam clothes?

When performing Hajj and staying overnight inMina I had a "wet dream"
(out of my control). When I woke up I immediately made ghusl and
washed and changed my ihram. Did I do the correct thing and is my Hajj
still valid?.
Praise be to Allaah.
Yes, it is permissible for the pilgrim in ihraam to change his ihraam
clothes. We have previously quoted the fatwa of the Standing Committee
in the answerto question no. 26722 . Here we will add the fatwa of
Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him).
Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-'Uthaymeen said:
It is permissible for the muhrim (pilgrim in ihraam) who is doing Hajj
or 'Umrah, male or female, to change the clothes in which he or she
entered ihraam and to put on different clothes, if the other clothes
are things which it is permissible for the pilgrim in ihraam to wear.
