Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: A man had a wet dream and semen came out of him, but he was content with performing wudu and washing his clothes. He was in the desert where it was cold, and then he performed ghusl when he returned from the desert. What should he do about the prayers that passed while he did not know their number?
Answer:
If he is able to perform ghusl with cold water, or if he has means to heat it, such as wood or gas, then it is obligatory for him to heat the water and perform ghusl. It is not permissible for him to perform tayammum if he is able to perform ghusl. However, if he has no means to heat the water and the water is cold and he fears for his health, then there is no harm in his performing tayammum and praying, and his prayer is valid. Yes.
