Issues about Tayammum(dry ablution)
In the absence of water, tayammum can be done.
Dry, clean sand can be used for this purpose.
One tayammum is sufficient for wu’du and bath and wu’du or bath.
For tayammum, striking both the hands on the place where the sand is , twice/2 times and then wiping both hands together and wiping the face with the hands completes the Tayammum.
Way of performing Tayammum:
“…struck the ground with his hands once and wiped his right hand with the help of his left hand and the exterior of his palms and his face……”
Shaqiq reported: I was sitting in the company of Abdullah and Abu Musa when Abu Musa said: 0 'Abd al-Rahman (kunya of 'Abdullah b. Mas'ud), what would you like a man to do about the prayer if he experiences a seminal emission or has sexual intercourse but does not find water for a month? 'Abdullah said: He should not perform tayammum even if he does not find water for a month. 'Abdullah said: Then what about the verse in Sura Ma'ida:" If you do not find water, betake yourself to clean dust"? 'Abdullah said: If they were granted concession on the basis of this verse, there is a possibility that they would perform tayammum with dust on finding water very cold for themselves. Abu Musa said to Abdullah: You have not heard the words of 'Ammar: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) sent me on an errand and I had a seminal emission, but could find no water, and rolled myself in dust just as a beast rolls itself. I came to the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) then and made a mention of that to him and he (the Holy Prophet) said: It would have been enough for you to do thus. Then he struck the ground with his hands once and wiped his right hand with the help of his left hand and the exterior of his palms and his face. 'Abdullah said: Didn't you see that Umar was not fully satisfied with the words of 'Ammar only? (Book #003, Hadith #0716)
If not well/sick, a person can do tayammum.[ aby Dawud, ibn majah] In case of extreme cold , also one can resort to tayammum . BUT these cases REFER to situations where the circumstances are extreme and health and life of a person are at a SERIOUS Risk. Not to be resorted to in case of laziness and or lack of motivation to get up and warm the water etc.
Narrated Amr ibn al-'As: I had a sexual dream on a cold night in the battle of Dhat as-Salasil. I was afraid, if I washed I would die. I, therefore, performed tayammum and led my companions in the dawn prayer. They mentioned that to the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him). He said: Amr, you led your companions is prayer while you were sexually defiled? I informed him of the cause which impeded me from washing. And I said: I heard Allah say: "Do not kill yourself, verily Allah is merciful to you." The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) laughed and did not say anything. ( Aby Dawud.Book #1, Hadith #0334)
The above hadith has been made “bold” to show how important it is to resort to tayammum ONLY in case of extreme conditions. The hadith has been narrarted by a Sahabi..whose level of Iman was great. He won’t resort to tayammum just because he was lazy, or not really motivated to take a bath.
Once we find water, the tayammum is “gone”. One needs to use the water to perform wu’du or take a bath depending upon the need.
The Prophet s.a.w said, clean sand , cleanses a muslim even if waterv cannot be found for 10 years. But once water is found then, tayammum becomes void.[ Tirmizi]
