The questioner:
Now, a second question. May Allah preserve you, Shaykh. Regarding the one who has not found water, Shaykh, and wants to perform tayammum, is it obligatory for him to search for water?
The Shaykh:
If he thinks there is something there, and he knows there is something that resembles it to him.
The questioner:
He does not know, Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
He searches. It is obligatory for him to seek it.
The questioner:
It is obligatory for him to seek water.
The Shaykh:
A person in a place like ours, there is nothing in the place.

Now, if I go out to the desert, Shaykh, for example, is it obligatory for me to carry water with me?
The Shaykh:
It is not obligatory. No.

It is obligatory for me. May Allah reward you with good, O my dear ones. Peace be upon you.
