The Ruling on Tayammum in Place of Ghusl for the Sick

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Most days I pray with tayammum because I am unable to take a bath. Is that permissible for me?

Answer:
It is permissible for you to perform tayammum in place of ghusl. As for wudu, you must perform it unless the wudu also affects you, meaning water affects you in wudu and in the ghusl for janabah. In that case, tayammum is sufficient, as Allah the Exalted said:
then seek clean earth and wipe over your faces and your hands [with it]فَتَيَمَّمُوا صَعِيدًا طَيِّبًا فَامْسَحُوا بِوُجُوهِكُمْ وَأَيْدِيكُمْ
[An-Nisa 4:43]
. Yes.
