Tayammum: Is it a means of permission or does it remove the state of ritual impurity?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks, Shaykh, in his third and final question: Is tayammum a dispensation or does it remove the state of impurity?
Answer:
The scholars of the past differed on this, and the correct view is that it removes the state of impurity and takes the place of wudu'. This is because Allah made it a substitute for water. So if a person performs tayammum due to an excuse, such as the absence of water or the inability to use it, it takes the place of wudu' and is only invalidated by the things that break wudu'. As for those who say it is a dispensation, they hold that when the time for prayer ends, the effect of the tayammum ends, so another tayammum is required. As for those who say it removes the state of impurity, they hold that it is not invalidated except by the things that break wudu', and it is not invalidated by the end of the time. Yes.
