Washing one's feet after washing one's private parts in ghusal

Question

If I had a wet dream and I need to do ghusul, after washing my private parts, is it necessary to wash my feet because when I wash my private parts, the water will flow to my feet?

Answer

If there is no impurity that comes on the feet, you do not have to wash the feet at the beginning of the ghusal.

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