Is major ritual impurity removed by washing the private parts and performing ablution when it is difficult to find water?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I contracted major ritual impurity, and I did not have any hot water, so I washed my private parts with cold water, then performed ablution with the same water, and I did not perform dry ablution, then I prayed. Is my action valid? I did not perform dry ablution.

Answer:
Yes, he says: It is not valid. It is obligatory for you to take a full ritual bath with water, unless you fear danger to yourself due to the extreme coldness of the water, and you do not have anything to heat it with, and it is so cold that you cannot bear it, and you do not have anything to heat it with. In that case, you perform dry ablution with dust and pray. However, if you have something to heat the water with, such as firewood or gas, then water is necessary.
