He also asks: Is there a difference between tayammum in place of wudu' and tayammum in place of ghusl?

The questioner : He also asks: Is it permissible to perform tayammum, or is there a difference between tayammum in place of wudu' and tayammum in place of ghusl?
The Shaykh : There is no difference between them. If one performs tayammum for janabah, he remains in a state of purity from that janabah and does not repeat the tayammum for every prayer. Rather, he does not repeat it unless he becomes in a state of janabah a second time, in which case he performs tayammum for that last janabah.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Or if he finds water, he must perform ghusl, even if the janabah has not recurred, because, as we mentioned earlier, the removal of the excuse for tayammum necessitates its invalidation.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : As for one who performs tayammum for wudu', he also remains in a state of purity until a nullifier of wudu' occurs. If a nullifier of wudu' occurs, he must perform tayammum for the wudu'.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Accordingly, there is no difference between them. If one performs tayammum for janabah, he does not repeat the tayammum for it unless the cause for its obligation arises.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And if one performs tayammum for wudu', he does not repeat the tayammum for it unless the cause for its obligation arises.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Which is the minor state of ritual impurity.
The questioner : In my opinion, the questioner means by "difference" the difference in form or method, because, as we learned from you a moment ago, tayammum is a single strike.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : A person wipes his face and the backs of his hands.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : With it, but for example, is that sufficient for janabah?
The Shaykh : Yes, the method of tayammum for janabah and for wudu' is the same.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Its method for this and that is the same, and there is no difference between them, because Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) says:[Al-Ma'idah 5:6].
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : So there is no difference between this and that; it is all on the same level. This is because tayammum is a branch and not a root, so it is not attached to it in that way.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Rather, it is a branch, an independent purity. And the purpose of it is to manifest worship of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), and this is sufficient for tayammum for janabah and for the minor state of ritual impurity.
The questioner : Yes.

And if you are in a state of janabah, then purify yourselves. But if you are ill or on a journey or one of you comes from the place of relieving himself or you have contacted women and do not find water, then seek
