Tayammum (dry ablution with clean earth) upon entering ihram for one who has no water

Question:
The author of Zad al-Mustaqna, Your Eminence the Shaykh, mentioned the recommendation of performing tayammum when entering the state of ihram for one who does not have water. What is your guidance?

Answer:
It is a possibility. Whoever says the intended meaning is cleanliness says that tayammum is not recommended, because tayammum involves cleanliness. And whoever says the intended meaning is ritual purity, and that one enters the state of ihram in a state of purity, then tayammum takes the place of water. If water is not available to him, he performs tayammum so that his ihram and his talbiyah are in a state of purity. This is the more apparent meaning, the closer one, closer to the intended meaning of wudu and prayer. The intended meaning is to clean oneself; the intention is that he prays two rak'ahs and enters the state of ihram in a state of purity after the prayer, and this is achieved by tayammum. Yes. May Allah reward you and may He bless you, Your Eminence.
