Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Last Thursday, we were on a desert trip, and we prayed the Fajr (dawn prayer) in severe cold, so we switched from water to tayammum, knowing that we were able to heat the water. What is the ruling on our prayer?
Answer:
Your prayer is invalid; because tayammum is not permissible when one is able to use water, and you were able to use water by heating it and performing wudu' (the ablution for prayer) with it, so you must repeat the prayer. Yes.
