Frequent nocturnal emissions and delaying the ritual bath due to cold water

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: May Allah keep you safe, I am a young man who experiences frequent nocturnal emissions. Sometimes I have a nocturnal emission and do not perform the full ritual bath until the time of the midday prayer, and I pray the dawn prayer, and this is because of the coldness of the water.

Answer:
First, regarding frequent nocturnal emissions, why do you not get married? The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “O young men, whoever among you can afford the cost of marriage, let him get married”
for it is more effective in lowering the gaze and guarding one's chastityفإنه أغض للبصر وأحصن للفرج
Sunan an-Nasa'i 2242Sahih (Darussalam)
. So you must get married. Second, if the water is extremely cold and you cannot bear it, and you have no means to heat it, such as wood, gas, or electricity, and it is so cold that you cannot use it, then you perform dry ablution with clean earth and pray, just as 'Amr ibn al-'As (may Allah be pleased with him) did on some of his journeys. Yes.
