The traveler carrying water for wudu, drinking, and cooking in the desert

The questioner:
Bandar from al-Dawadimi, please, Bandar Abu Bandar, peace be upon you. And upon you be peace, Abu Bandar, please go ahead. May Allah grant you success. Long may you live, I have an inquiry. Please go ahead. An inquiry about a journey, may Allah reward you with good. An inquiry about what? Yes, the letter T. Honorable Shaykh, he says: Is it obligatory for a traveler to the desert to carry water with him for wudu? And does he carry water with him for drinking and cooking and the like?

The Shaykh:
That he carry with him what he needs for cooking, drinking, and the like, yes, this is necessary. As for carrying water for the sake of wudu, no, he does not carry water for the sake of wudu. If he finds water on his path, around him, or near him, he uses the water, and if he does not find it, he performs tayammum with pure earth, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
