Tayammum with wet soil and soil that has no dust
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
What is the ruling on tayammum with wet dust? And what is the evidence for the one who conditions that the dust must be free of dust?
The Shaykh:
The correct view is that it should be earth with dust. The evidence for this is the statement of the Exalted and Majestic:[Al-Ma'idah 5:6] So the one [Al-Ma'idah 5:6] that has dust is what sticks to the hand; nothing sticks to the hand, meaning He said "from it," and the "from" indicates that it is necessary to strike something in it that sticks to the hand. However, if nothing is found, he is excused. If he is in a land that has only desert sand and nothing to strike with earth, he strikes the ground, and praise be to Allah. So the sign is: fear Allah and seek His forgiveness. If it is a highland or sandy area and he has nothing else, that suffices him, and praise be to Allah. So fear Allah and seek His forgiveness.
The questioner:
Your Eminence the Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, are mountains considered dust such that wiping over them is valid?
The Shaykh:
The surface, yes. So the surface is called a surface.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
On the ground in the summer.
The questioner:
It is narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih al-Bukhari 7288 It is agreed upon by al-Bukhari and Muslim.
The Shaykh:
This is proof that if the soil does not work, one performs tayammum with the earth available to him, whether it is from a salt flat, sand, or hard earth, all of it. So fear Allah as much as you can. Yes.

and wipe over your faces and hands with it
فَامْسَحُوا بِوُجُوهِكُمْ وَأَيْدِيكُم مِّنْهُO you who have believed, when you rise to [perform] prayer, wash your faces and your forearms to the elbows and wipe over your heads and wash your feet to the ankles. And if you are in a state of janabah, then purify yourselves. But if you are ill or on a journey or one of you comes from the place of relieving himself or you have contacted women and do not find water, then seek clean earth and wipe over your faces and hands with it. Allah does not intend to make difficulty for you, but He intends to purify you and complete His favor upon you that you may be grateful.
