Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In the hadith of Ibn Ra'iyah ibn Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him), why is it not the case that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was more informed about the news of the polytheist woman regarding water in a situation of need and necessity? It seems as if there is a desert there, so there would be no contradiction between it and the hadith of Abu Salama.
Answer:
No, it is not like that. It is not a need or a necessity, because ritual purity is achieved with earth. There is an alternative for ritual purity, which is tayammum (dry ablution) with earth. So there is no need.
