What is the ruling for one who lacks water and finds water during his prayer? Does he have to break his prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : What is the ruling for one who lacks water and finds water during his prayer? Does he have to break his prayer?

The Shaykh : The correct view is that he must break his prayer, because the presence of water invalidates tayammum (dry ablution with clean earth). He is thus like one who becomes ritually impure during prayer, and he must repeat the prayer from the beginning.
