Is it established from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) that tayammum is two strikes?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This brother Zayd says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it established from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that tayammum is from two strikes?

Answer:
Yes, it is reported from him (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said tayammum is two strikes: one strike for the face and one strike for the forearms. However, the more authentic hadith is that he (peace and blessings be upon him) performed tayammum with one strike, dividing it between his face and his forearms. This is the stronger and more authentic position. And if one performs tayammum with two strikes, that is permissible. Yes.
