The questioner:
The correct manner of tayammum, Your Eminence the Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
From the earth, with one strike. He wipes his face and his palms with it. This is the Sunnah. There is no need for two strikes. With one strike, he wipes his face with the cover of his fingers, then he wipes his hands, the inside and the outside, with the remaining earth on his hands, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) explained in the hadith of 'Amir and others. He struck the earth with his hands, then wiped his face and his palms with them.[Al-Ma'idah 5:6] And the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: his face.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
It is desirable for it to be only on the palms. There is no need for the forearms. He wipes only his face and his palms. The forearms are not wiped. Yes.
