Question:
Regarding tayammum, he says: If I cannot find water, how do I perform tayammum?
Answer:
If you are unable to obtain water, you strike the earth with your hands, then wipe your face and your palms with a single strike. You wipe over the face, then over the hands, both the outer and inner parts, with a single strike, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) taught 'Amir ibn Yasir. If you are unable to do so, and you cannot find water, for example while traveling or in a locked prison where no one gives you water, and the time for prayer arrives, you perform tayammum. However, if you are able to obtain water, even by purchasing it, you must buy the water and not perform tayammum.
