If one fears the cold, does he perform tayammum?

Question : Or if he fears cold, he fears cold from what? From using water, then he performs tayammum.

Answer : But if he finds something to warm the water with, it is obligatory for him to warm the water. If he does not find it and fears that if he bathes he will become ill, then he performs tayammum. The fear of cold alone is not sufficient, but he must fear harm from the cold. As for fearing the cold, everyone in winter feels cold when they perform wudu, but the point is that he fears harm to himself from the cold. In this case, what is the ruling? He may perform tayammum, based on the saying of Allah the Exalted: So if he fears a cold that he cannot bear except with harm, he may perform tayammum. Now, if he performs tayammum and then finds something to warm the water with, is it obligatory for him to use the water? The answer is yes, it is obligatory for him, and the evidence for that will come, if Allah wills.
