Is it obligatory for the one praying to perform tayammum for every prayer?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: The brother: H. S. H. from Buraydah says in his question: Is it obligatory for a person to perform tayammum for every prayer? Or is it permissible for him to pray as many obligatory and voluntary prayers as he wishes as long as he has not become ritually impure after the tayammum? Please give us a ruling, may Allah reward you with good.
A: It is permissible for a Muslim, if he has performed the tayammum prescribed by the Shari'ah, to pray with it as many obligatory or voluntary prayers as he wishes, as long as he is lacking water or unable to use it, provided he has not become ritually impure or found water, according to the most correct of the scholars' opinions. This is based on the saying of Allah the Exalted: [Surat al-Ma'idah: 6] and the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Sahih al-Bukhari 335 and his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): Jami` at-Tirmidhi 124Hasan (Darussalam) There are many hadiths on this matter.
And Allah is the One who grants success.
A: It is permissible for a Muslim, if he has performed the tayammum prescribed by the Shari'ah, to pray with it as many obligatory or voluntary prayers as he wishes, as long as he is lacking water or unable to use it, provided he has not become ritually impure or found water, according to the most correct of the scholars' opinions. This is based on the saying of Allah the Exalted:
and do not find water, then seek clean earth and wipe over your faces and hands with it. Allah does not intend to make difficulty for you, but He intends to purify you and complete His favor upon you that you may be grateful.
فَلَمْ تَجِدُوا مَاءً فَتَيَمَّمُوا صَعِيدًا طَيِّبًا فَامْسَحُوا بِوُجُوهِكُمْ وَأَيْدِيكُمْ مِنْهُ مَا يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ لِيَجْعَلَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ حَرَجٍ وَلَكِنْ يُرِيدُ لِيُطَهِّرَكُمْ وَلِيُتِمَّ نِعْمَتَهُ عَلَيْكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَThe earth has been made for me (and for my followers) a place for praying and a thing to perform Tayammum, therefore anyone of my followers can pray wherever the time of a prayer is due.
جعلت لي الأرض مسجدا وطهورا، فأيما رجل من أمتي أدركته الصلاة فعنده مسجده وطهورهPure clean earth is a purifier for the Muslim; even if he did not find water for ten years. Then if he finds water, then let him use it (for purification) on his skin
الصعيد وضوء المسلم وإن لم يجد الماء عشر سنين، فإذا وجد الماء فليتق الله وليمسه بشرتهAnd Allah is the One who grants success.
