The ruling on the invalidation of tayammum upon the presence of water
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: If a man performs tayammum for prayer and prays, and then remains in a state of purity until the next obligatory prayer, but he sees water, does his tayammum become invalid at that point?
Answer:
Yes, if he sees water, the tayammum is invalidated by the presence of water, because the purity of tayammum is temporary, lasting only as long as water is absent. Allah the Exalted says:[An-Nisa 4:43]. So if water is present, his tayammum is invalidated and he is required to purify himself with water, because the original state has arrived. Yes, the common people say, "If water is present, the crossing is invalidated." This is correct. If water is present, it is the original state. Yes.
