Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you. What is the amount of water for which a Muslim is permitted to perform tayammum (dry ablution with clean earth) while water is available?
The Shaykh : What he needs for cooking and drinking. And the car, if he uses it, he still performs wudu' (the ablution for prayer) with it.
The questioner : What a person needs of water for coffee, tea, and food, does that count as part of what he keeps for drinking?
The Shaykh : By Allah, I think it does count. So this is part of the completion of his expenses. I think it counts with this. Some people are attached to coffee and tea; if they do not drink tea or coffee, they are affected. They get a headache, and some say their vision weakens.
