The ruling on tayammum (dry ablution with clean earth) if a person is in a country and water is cut off only for him

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Peace be upon you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: We are students in the university dormitory inside Riyadh. The water has been cut off for the entire university. Is it permissible for us to perform tayammum?

Answer:
No, it is not permissible for you to perform tayammum. You are in the middle of a city; you can go out and get water from the mosques around the university. Or you can get it from the water tankers that transport water; you ask them to bring it to you. So you are able to obtain water. Yes.
