How does a sick woman who is unable to perform tayammum herself due to her illness and old age perform tayammum?

The questioner : And what is the method of tayammum, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Her family should come, and the man who is a mahram to her, or a woman, should strike her hands on the ground, then wipe the sick woman’s face and her palms. If she performs tayammum, for example, for the Zuhr prayer and remains in a state of purity until 'Asr, there is no need to repeat the tayammum, because tayammum is not invalidated by the passing of the time. She—meaning this woman—may combine Zuhr and 'Asr, and may combine Maghrib and 'Isha' if it is difficult for her to perform each prayer in its own time, but without shortening the prayers, because she is not traveling.
