Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A person says that if he takes a ghusl with warm or cold water in the morning, he falls ill because of his weak immune system. Is it permissible for him to perform tayammum when he is in a state of janabah so that he can pray Fajr? Or should he delay his prayer?
Answer:
He is clearly harmed; he has no immune system, and if he takes a ghusl or performs wudu, he falls ill. This is tayammum, there is no doubt in it.[An-Nisa 4:43] Illness is among the excuses that permit tayammum. Yes.
