Not having a ghusal before fajr due to the water being cold

· 24 Rabiʻ I 1440 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I had sex last night and I did not pray because the weather was cold. It wasn't too cold because there is a source of warming the water but its usage is limited. I couldn't warm the water till 8:00 am so I prayed after 8:00 am. Was it correct?

Answer

The right thing will be to have heated the water and do the ghusl in the time.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
