Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, regarding the cold days, there is a person in the desert, a shepherd, who is unlearned, and he says that he performs tayammum (dry ablution with clean earth) even though cold water is available.
Answer:
If the water is very cold and he cannot bear to perform ritual purity with it, and he has nothing to heat the water—no wood, no gas, and nothing to heat the water—then he performs tayammum, and there is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
