The ruling on the invalidation of tayammum upon the presence of water
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Before that, Honorable Shaykh, Salim asks: If a man performs tayammum (dry ablution with clean earth) for prayer, prays, and remains in a state of ritual purity until the next obligatory prayer, but then sees water, does his tayammum become invalid at that point?
Answer:
Yes, if he sees water, he must abandon tayammum (dry ablution with clean earth) upon the presence of water, because the permissibility of tayammum is contingent upon the absence of water. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says: “...but you find no water...” So if water is present, he must perform tayammum and it is obligatory for him to perform ghusl (the full ritual bath) with water, because the original ruling is present. Yes, and the common people say that if they are present, the excuse is invalidated; this is correct. If they are present, that is the original ruling. Yes.
