Is the Friday prayer valid with tayammum?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is the Friday prayer valid with tayammum for one who is unable to access water or is incapable of using it, if he has no water?

Answer:
In that case, he performs tayammum, or if he has water but is unable to use it due to an illness he has contracted, or because the water is insufficient for his needs and purification, he performs tayammum and prays. However, I consider this unlikely, because the Friday prayer is not held except in villages, cities, and permanent settlements, and these are not devoid of water, unless this questioner is suffering from an illness that prevents him from performing wudu, in which case he is excused from it. May Allah reward you with good.
