Tayammum on bus seats when time is tight
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says (may Allah preserve you): Last year during Hajj, the time for Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers caught up with us while we were on our way to Muzdalifah. We feared that the time for 'Isha' would end, and we had no water with us. The supervisor of the group in the bus said, "Strike the seats in front of you and perform tayammum, then let each person pray in his place." Is this correct? And are the seats considered part of what has been raised from the earth?
Answer:
No, they do not want to turn around because if they turned around, they would be scattered, and it is difficult for him to gather them. He issues a fatwa, and may Allah protect us, this is not permissible. It is not permissible for him to speak like this. Also, the time for 'Isha' does not end until the last part of the night. They have no tightness of time for 'Isha'; it does not end until the last part of the night. They have no tightness.
Striking the car seats is not valid because there is no dust; there is no dust in them. Praying in the car is also not valid on the seats. One does not bow or prostrate, and all of this is invalid talk. So you must repeat the prayer. And one must be warned about this talk and this presumption. Who told him to issue a fatwa? Yes.
