Ruling on one who was performing tayammum and found water before the prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner from Sudan, Mansur, says: I performed tayammum for the prayer, and when the iqamah was called, we found water before the takbir of ihram. Is it permissible for us to continue the prayer, or should we go back to perform wudu?

Answer:
It is obligatory to go back and perform wudu; because you found water, and Allah says:
and find no waterفَلَمْ تَجِدُوا مَاءً
[Surat al-Nisa: 43], and you have found it. So it is obligatory to go back and perform wudu, and the tayammum becomes invalid. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
