Tayammum on the wall and the tiled floor of the mosque

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He asks: Is it permissible to perform tayammum on the wall, such as the walls built in this mosque, where the wall is not in its original state?

The Shaykh:
You heard the statement: if there is dust on it, he performs tayammum on it, and there is no harm. If there is no dust on it, and it is cleaned and wiped, with no dust on it, it is not sufficient. Yes.

The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.

The Shaykh:
Or if the mosque is tiled with ceramic and there is no dust on it, it is not suitable for tayammum. It must have some dust on it. Yes.
