Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: What is the manner in which a patient in the hospital who cannot find soil performs tayammum?
Answer:
We said: He wipes with pure dust, whether on the wall or, as is now done, they provide him with a sponge saturated with dust and he wipes with it. This is good and there is nothing wrong with it. And this has been generalized, as far as I know, in the hospitals, and there is a fatwa from the Permanent Committee to facilitate matters for the patients.
