Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Those who go to the desert find that the water is sometimes far from them, approximately twenty kilometers, and it is difficult for them to go back and forth to bring water, so is it permissible for them to perform tayammum?
Answer:
Do they have vessels and containers to carry it and drink from? If they have vessels, they do not hesitate. What a man can reach only with hardship, or by looking at a car—since not everyone has a car—look at the man: if it is not difficult for you to seek it by walking, you are required to seek it. But if it is something you cannot reach on foot, it is not required. Yes.
