Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if one finds water but it is not sufficient for his complete ritual purity, is it better for him to use it and then perform dry ablution (tayammum) for the rest?

Answer:
Yes, this is what they stated: that it is used for whatever it can be used for, and tayammum (dry ablution with clean earth) is performed for the rest. Allah the Exalted said:
So fear Allah as much as you are ableفَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ
[At-Taghabun 64:16]
