Is tayammum (dry ablution with clean earth) permissible on sidewalks, asphalt, and tiles?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Do sidewalks, asphalt, and tiles count as the earth with which one performs tayammum?

Answer:
You may wipe on anything that has pure dust on it. As for a sidewalk or tiles that have nothing on them, or a wall that has nothing on them, you do not wipe on them.
