How did we say that tayammum and wudu' have the same cause but differ in ruling?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Tayammum and wudu': we said their cause is one, which is hadath, and their rulings differ...?
The Shaykh : Do not revert to the madhhab or non-madhhab. First, purity in wudu' relates to the entire body in major ritual impurity and to four limbs in minor ritual impurity, whereas tayammum relates to only two limbs. Second, purity in tayammum is wiping, whereas that in wudu' is washing and wiping. Third, the two purities agree in that tayammum is a single act, unlike wudu'.
