The answer

If (ritual bath) due to (state of ritual impurity) is obligatory, then one must bathe with water, taking the necessary precautions, such as bathing in a warm place and drying the body and moisturizing the limbs. If this is not possible or if harm is feared from using water, then (dry ablution) is permissible. One must beware of the devil's whisperings that falsely suggest illness from using water.
