What is the ruling on performing tayammum (dry ablution with clean earth) on a pillow in a hospital without dust?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If one performs tayammum on a pillow in a hospital without dust, is his prayer valid?

Answer:
No, that is not acceptable. One does not perform tayammum on something that has no dust. It must be dust or soil; it is necessary to have pure dust or soil. Since the ground is present in that place, he should ask someone to bring him some soil.
