Is it permissible to miss the congregation due to severe cold?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : By analogy to this issue, if a person is in severe cold, for example, if he took a ghusl, a ghusl for janabah, at the time of the Fajr adhan, and the cold is severe, and he needs to warm himself, meaning he does not go to prayer while shivering from the cold, exhausted, but if he lights a fire and warms himself with it, and he becomes comfortable, do we say now that you are excused, or did you fall into sin even if you were avoiding the cold?

Answer : Yes. Because this is like the need to relieve oneself and like the presence of food, and it may even be more severe, yes?
