The questioner : He says: In reality, I have a matter in which I am confused, and it is that on one day he woke up before the Fajr prayer and had a wet dream, and the day was very cold, so he went to school after performing tayammum and praying Fajr. After he left school, or while he was on the way to school, he wanted to return to perform ghusl, but he did not do so and went to school. When he returned, he did not perform ghusl for the Zuhr prayer either. He says: I hope you will clarify my situation in this matter?
The Shaykh : His situation in this case: As for what has passed, he must repeat the two prayers he prayed without performing ghusl from major ritual impurity, because he is in the city and is able to heat the water and perform ghusl with it.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : As for the issue in general, if a man wakes up in a state of major ritual impurity and fears the cold, and he has nothing with which to heat the water, he should perform tayammum.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : However, if he is warm or finds something with which to heat the water, it is obligatory for him to perform ghusl. So, if it is assumed that he is traveling in the desert and has water with him, but it is cold and he has nothing with which to heat it, then in this case it is permissible for him to perform tayammum for this major ritual impurity. And if he is able to use water that does not harm him, it is obligatory for him to perform ghusl.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : You have done well. This, or this question, is also from the same questioner, 'Abd al-Karim from the Shammar tribe.
