Is performing ablution with cold water more rewarding than performing ablution with hot water?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The meaning of "performing ablution thoroughly despite adversities" is to complete it even if the soul dislikes it, such as using cold water in winter or hot water in summer, or other difficulties like fatigue and exhaustion. It does not mean intentionally performing ablution with cold water when warm water is available.
