Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: Some people place a stone in their home to perform tayammum (dry ablution with clean earth) with when they are ill. Is this an act of excessive effort? And is it permissible for them to do so?
Answer:
A stone is not something on which one performs tayammum (dry ablution with clean earth). A bare stone that has no dust on it is not used for tayammum (dry ablution with clean earth). One performs tayammum (dry ablution with clean earth) with something that has pure dust on it. Yes.
