At Muzdalifah, I performed tayammum for the Fajr prayer because I could not find water at that time. Is my prayer valid, and is my Hajj valid?

The questioner:
I went to perform the obligatory Hajj, and at Muzdalifah I did not perform wudu for the Fajr prayer; I only performed tayammum because I did not have water, nor did my companions have any at that time. So I performed tayammum and prayed. Is my prayer valid, and is my Hajj valid? What is required of me now? Please give us a ruling, may Allah reward you with good and do you good.
The Shaykh:
It is known that in recent years, praise be to Allah, water has become available in all directions at Muzdalifah. Water has been provided there through the water spouts prepared for that purpose, the numerous restrooms, and the vehicles, which are not without water. Water is available at Muzdalifah, so there is no reason for tayammum because water is present. However, it requires searching and asking. In any case, it is obligatory for you to repeat this prayer, because you performed tayammum while water was available near you, here or there. Yes.
The questioner:
He also asks about his Hajj, saying: What is the ruling on my prayer and my Hajj?
The Shaykh:
Yes, the discussion is about the prayer. As for the Hajj, it is valid, if Allah wills, as long as he performed the rites of Hajj, his Hajj is valid. But he must repeat the prayer. Yes.
