Question:
May Allah grant you success. I am from a very cold country, and sometimes I wake up from sleep... No, if you have something to heat the water with, if you have something...
Answer:
...to heat the water with, such as wood, electricity, or fuel, then it is not permissible for you to [use dry ablution instead of] heating the water. However, if the water is very cold and unbearable, and you do not have anything to heat it with, then you perform dry ablution and pray, just as 'Amr ibn al-'As (may Allah be pleased with him) did in some of the military expeditions. He experienced a wet dream, and the weather was very cold, and they did not have anything to heat the water with, so he performed dry ablution and led his companions in prayer. This matter reached the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he did not rebuke him. Yes.
