AL-KAFI #1790: ADAKAH MAKRUH MENGGUNAKAN AIR DARIPADA WATER HEATER ATAU AIR PAIP YANG PANAS
Is it disliked to use water from a water heater or hot tap water, caused by hot weather, for purification?
Short answer
Water exposed to sunlight in Malaysia is not ruled as disliked musyammas water, because the climate here is moderate and does not meet the conditions set by the scholars, namely a hot region, hot season and a malleable metal container such as iron.

Summary
Water exposed to sunlight in Malaysia is not ruled as disliked musyammas water, because the climate here is moderate and does not meet the conditions set by the scholars, namely a hot region, hot season and a malleable metal container such as iron. Water heated by a water heater is also not musyammas. Using it is not disliked as long as it is not so hot that it harms the body.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Begitu juga, air yang dipanaskan menggunakan water heater juga tidak termasuk dalam kategori air musyammas, bahkan tidak makruh menggunakannya selagi tidak terlalu panas sehingga boleh mendatangkan kemudaratan pada diri.
