What should one do if he finds water that is not sufficient for his entire ablution?

The questioner : What should one do if he finds water that is sufficient for part of his ablution?

The Shaykh : If a person finds water that is sufficient for part of his ablution, he should use it and perform dry ablution with clean earth for the rest, based on the saying of Allah the Exalted: and the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): . This man was able to use water for some of the limbs of his ablution, so he is obligated to use it, and he was unable to use it for the rest due to the lack of water, so he performs dry ablution with clean earth for that.
