The "Water is only from water" indicated that intercourse without ejaculation does not necessitate . However, this ruling has been abrogated, as the Ummah subsequently reached a consensus that the ghusl becomes obligatory upon the meeting of the two circumcised parts, even if no ejaculation occurs. Furthermore, intense cold is not an excuse that waives the obligation of ghusl, unless the person cannot find anything to warm the water and fears harm from using it.
