Is tayammum (dry ablution with clean earth) on sand without dust sufficient?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner says: Is tayammum (dry ablution with clean earth) on sand that has no dust sufficient?

Answer:
Yes. Every face of pure earth, whether it is sand or stones, or whatever animal walks upon it. The saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), “The earth has been made for me a place of prostration,” is general. And when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) traveled to Tabuk for the Battle of Tabuk, his entire path was sand. It was all barren land, and he did not carry any soil with him, which indicates that one performs tayammum (dry ablution with clean earth) on sand. Yes.
