Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it obligatory to observe order and continuity in tayammum?
Answer:
Yes, indeed. This is necessary: one must wipe the face first. Then one wipes the two hands after the face. If one started with the hands before the face, it would not be valid, because Allah (Mighty and Majestic) says:[Al-Baqarah 2:158] The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih Muslim 1218a. Yes.

Answer:
Yes, indeed. This is necessary: one must wipe the face first. Then one wipes the two hands after the face. If one started with the hands before the face, it would not be valid, because Allah (Mighty and Majestic) says:
Indeed, as-Safa and al-Marwah are among the symbols of Allah
إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِن شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِI begin with what Allah (has commanded me) to begin. He first mounted al-Safa'
أبدأ بما بدأ الله به فبدأ بالصفا
