Question: The brother Abdullah from Sudan is asking about the correct method of tayammum, and specifically about the ruling on wiping the hands up to the elbow?
Answer:
The tayammum prescribed by the Shari'ah, as preserved from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), is a single strike, as in the two Sahihs in the hadith of 'Amir ibn Yasir (may Allah be pleased with them both) ...... from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) who said when he taught him tayammum:, this is the tayammum prescribed by the Shari'ah: a single strike in the dust, with which he wipes his face and his hands ..... a strike for his face and his hands, starting with his face then his hands, and that is sufficient, with no need for the forearms.
Some narrations mention wiping the forearms, and so on up to the armpits, but this was the independent reasoning of some of the Companions before they learned the ruling of the Shari'ah; when they learned the ruling of the Shari'ah, they were content with it, which is wiping the face and the hands.
It is reported from Ibn 'Umar that he used to strike twice and wipe up to his elbows, but the correct view is a single strike, as in the hadith of 'Amir ibn Yasir (may Allah be pleased with them both), and this is sufficient. It is what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) explicitly stated and taught his Ummah, peace and blessings be upon him, so it is the best: a single strike with which he wipes his face and his hands, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) taught his Ummah that in the hadith of 'Amir (may Allah be pleased with him). Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
