AL-KAFI #1329: HUKUM MENINGGALKAN BASUHAN ANGGOTA SUNAT WUDUK DENGAN SENGAJA.
Is it permissible to deliberately skip the recommended parts of wudu, such as rinsing the nose and washing the ears, when the weather is cold?
Short answer
The parts and acts of wudu apart from the obligatory ones are emphasised sunnah (sunnah muakkad), since the Prophet SAW constantly performed them and rarely left them out.

Summary
The parts and acts of wudu apart from the obligatory ones are emphasised sunnah (sunnah muakkad), since the Prophet SAW constantly performed them and rarely left them out. Leaving them out for a reason or excuse, such as cold weather, is not sinful. Leaving them out continuously without a reasonable cause is makruh (disliked). Whoever performs them earns great reward from Allah SWT.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Berdasarkan perbincangan dan perbahasan di atas, kami menyatakan bahawa anggota-anggota wuduk selain daripada anggota wajib yang telah disebutkan, maka ia merupakan sunat yang dituntut (sunat muakkad).
