If you are in the wilderness and have no water with you except a small amount sufficient only for drinking, do you perform wudu' from it or perform tayammum?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He says: If you are in the wilderness and have no water with you except a small amount sufficient only for drinking, do you perform wudu' from it or perform tayammum?
The Shaykh : If a person has water that he needs for drinking and the time for prayer arrives, and he has no water other than this, he should perform tayammum, because he needs this water. Removing dire necessity is a required matter, and Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) has permitted the servant to perform tayammum if he does not find water. This water that he needs for drinking is considered non-existent regarding performing wudu' with it.
