Peace be upon you. What should I do if I had a wet dream at night and couldn't perform the ritual washing during the day due to work commitments, and I delayed it until after Dhuhr? Should I perform tayammum for Dhuhr and Asr prayers, or is it permissible to delay until after Maghrib prayer if I couldn't wash?

Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei and Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may God protect them):
If performing the ritual washing before going to work causes you harm or severe hardship with your employer, to the extent that you might lose your necessary job, then tayammum is permissible in this case. Otherwise, you must perform the washing. Additionally, tayammum is allowed if there is a shortage of time for prayer, and there is not enough time to wash and pray together; in this case, you must perform tayammum instead of washing to catch the prayer on time.
May you be successful in all good.
