Performing tayammum due to cold

Q: After janaabat, if I do tayamum instead of gusal due to cold so in this case can I offer my prayer in the morning after ambulation?

A: If you do not have a valid medical excuse, then it is compulsory for you to have ghusal. To overcome the cold, you may heat the water and thereafter have the ghusal. Performing salaah with tayammum in such a condition is not permissible.

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