The ruling on performing tayammum on the seashore in the presence of water
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this is a woman asking. She says: If we are on the seashore, is tayammum (dry ablution with clean earth) permissible in the presence of water, out of fear of exposing the 'awrah (the part of the body that must be covered)?
Answer:
This is the same question that has come up before. Tayammum (dry ablution with clean earth) is not permissible in the presence of water. The questioner, whether male or female, can take the water and cover themselves, then perform ghusl (the full ritual bath) or wudu' (the ablution for prayer). They can cover themselves with a tree, a wall, a tent, or a screen they set up to act as a sutrah (a barrier placed before one praying) that blocks people’s view, and purify themselves with the water. Tayammum (dry ablution with clean earth) is not permissible. Yes.
Also, going to the beaches, women going to the beaches, this involves what it involves of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). Should not women refrain from going to the beaches and mixing with men? And if it is absolutely necessary that she goes to a place, or that they go with them, women and families, they go to a place on the beaches where there are no men, and they go to an empty place. Yes. They.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
