Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: Your Eminence the Shaykh, a pilgrim at Muzdalifah woke up for the Fajr prayer on the first day of the days of Tashriq and found that he was in a state of major ritual impurity (janabah), and there are no restrooms there. If he goes to Mina, he fears that the time for prayer will pass, and because of the difficulty of the crowd, what is required of him? Does he perform tayammum and pray, or does he delay the prayer until he reaches Mina?
The Shaykh:
It is ordinary.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. A pilgrim at Muzdalifah woke up for the Fajr prayer and then found that he was in a state of major ritual impurity (janabah), and there are no restrooms there. If he goes to Mina, he fears that the time for prayer will pass, and because of the difficulty of the crowd, does he perform tayammum and pray, or does he delay the prayer until he reaches Mina?
The Shaykh:
If water is not available, perform tayammum and pray. Allah says:[At-Taghabun 64:16] and He says: "But if you do not find water, then perform tayammum." So if it is the time for prayer and one is unable to obtain water, he does not delay; he performs tayammum and prays. Praise be to Allah. Yes.
