Tayammum on Bedding and Dust
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is dust and bedding considered part of the surface of the earth, such that one may perform tayammum with them when water is unavailable?
Answer:
No one says that bedding is part of the earth. Bedding is not the earth. So one does not strike it unless there is dust on it. If there is dust on the mat, the wall, or the pebbles, one strikes it. As for clean bedding that has no dust on it, tayammum on it is not permissible, and it is not part of the surface of the earth. This is taken from animals, from the wool of animals, or from woven cotton or other materials; it is not from the earth. Yes.
