Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: A man woke up for the Fajr prayer a short time before the sun rose, and he was in a state of major ritual impurity, and the weather was cold. He says: Is it permissible for him to perform dry ablution, or is he required to wait until the sun rises so that he can take a full ritual bath?
Answer:
He heats the water. He heats the water with electricity, not wood, and takes a full ritual bath and prays, even if the time for prayer passes. This is because he is occupied with the condition. So if the time passes while he is occupied with the condition, there is no blame on him. Yes.
