Question:
This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, is it established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he performed tayammum with two strikes?

Answer:
This has been reported, but it is weak. The authentic hadith states that it is one strike, which is divided between his face and his palms, both their outer and inner sides. One strike is sufficient, and if he strikes twice, there is no harm. Yes.
