Question:
Brother Abu Ibrahim asks about the hadith regarding thoroughness in ablution in times of difficulty. What is the meaning of this hadith, O Shaykh?
Answer:
Thoroughness in ablution means completing it on the limbs such that nothing of a limb remains without water reaching it and flowing over it. "In times of difficulty" means during cold weather, because the weather may be cold, and a person may rush and not notice whether water has reached a limb and covered it, or if he fell short of part of it due to the cold and the intensity of the cold. Yes.
