Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : His EminenceThe Shaykh : We ask you to explain the correct method of tayammum?
The Shaykh : Yes, the correct method of tayammum is for a person to strike the earth once with his hands, or the ground, or whatever he uses for tayammum. He then wipes his face like this, and wipes his palms like this, rubbing one against the other. That is all; it is done with a single strike. Yes, this is the best. If he strikes once for the face and once for the palms, there is no harm.
The student: Is the face first?
The Shaykh : The face is first, yes.
