The ruling on tayammum (dry ablution with clean earth) for a patient suffering from incontinence in order to read the Qur'an and pray

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner says: A man is ill in the hospital, and he performs tayammum (dry ablution with clean earth) for prayer and reading the Qur'an. He is unable to control his urine, and he wants to read from the mushaf (a written copy of the Qur'an) constantly. Is there anything required of him?

Answer:
If he wants to read, he performs tayammum (dry ablution with clean earth), and he reads, even if something comes out of him afterward, just as with prayer: he performs tayammum (dry ablution with clean earth) and prays, even if something comes out of him during the prayer. However, tayammum (dry ablution with clean earth) in a place where water is available is not permissible unless he is unable to use water. If he is unable to use water, he performs tayammum (dry ablution with clean earth), and he performs the prayer and the recitation of the Qur'an with it until his wudu' (the ablution for prayer) is broken.
