A man performs tayammum at every time despite the presence of water for drinking sheep, and he has prayed several prayers with tayammum; is he required to do anything?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : This questioner mentions that he performs tayammum at every time despite the presence of water for drinking sheep, and that he has prayed several prayers with tayammum; is he required to do anything?

The Shaykh : If he is able to use water, it is not permissible for him to perform tayammum, because Allah the Exalted said:
and find no water فلم تجدوا ماءً
[An-Nisa 4:43]
As for what has passed and occurred due to his ignorance, I hope that he is not required to repeat the prayers he performed with tayammum. However, in the future, as long as the water is sufficient, it is obligatory for him to purify himself with water.
