If one performs wudu with water that is not sufficient to wash all the limbs, does he perform tayammum for the rest?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If one performs wudu with water that is not sufficient to wash all the limbs, does he perform tayammum for the rest?

The Shaykh : Yes, he performs wudu with what is sufficient. How is it sufficient?

The questioner : For example, if he has half a bottle of water, is it not enough for the entire wudu?

The Shaykh : I mean, does it mean it is only enough to wash his face and hands, for example? Yes, he uses it and performs tayammum for the rest.

The questioner : Shaykh, we said that one does not combine two complete states of purity?

The Shaykh : We did not say that. Who said that? We said that one does not combine two complete states of purity, meaning performing wudu and tayammum. But if he does not find anything but part of it, Allah the Exalted said:
So fear Allah as much as you are able فاتقوا الله ما استطعتم
[At-Taghabun 64:16]
