The Meaning of Completing the Ablution in Times of Difficulty

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the topic? Is it permissible to be thorough in the place?

Answer:
No, it is about performing wudu' (ablution) with difficulty. That is, with hardship, such as in the cold. It is no doubt that performing wudu' in the cold is difficult for people, so there is an increase in reward for the hardship, unlike performing wudu' in a warm, heated place, which is easier. But if one performs wudu' in a cold place because he has no heating and cannot heat it, or in a cold place where he has no house and is in the open, and yet he endures it in obedience to Allah and His Messenger, then he has an increase in reward. So performing wudu' thoroughly in this state is better than performing it thoroughly in a state of warmth and comfort, even though there is much good in both. Yes. On the mats, it is the cold, yes.
