Being Lenient Regarding Tayammum While Traveling and When Combining Prayers

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh. Some people, especially while traveling, Your Eminence, are lenient regarding the matter of tayammum. When the time for prayer arrives, they perform tayammum, even if the prayer is one that can be combined with the one following it. We ask for your guidance on this matter?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it, there is no blame on him, if he has no water, he performs tayammum. The Sunnah is not to combine prayers if he is settled and resting. The Sunnah is to pray every prayer in its time, and not to combine them, even with tayammum. As for if he has water, whether he combines or not, he is required to use the water. As for if he is unable to use water, he prays with tayammum, whether combining or not combining, whether he combines or not. Yes.
