The Correct Method of Tayammum
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I hope the Shaykh will explain the correct method of tayammum? And is it a condition that the pure earth be soil, or is tayammum on stones sufficient?
Answer:
It is obligatory to use soil if it is found; because of his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):Musnad Ahmad 1362Hasan (Darussalam) and because of the saying of the Lord, Exalted and Majestic: [Al-Ma'idah: 6]. And "sa'id" (earth) is the surface of the earth. His saying: indicates that it has dust that sticks to the hand and face. His saying: . So if that is not available, one performs tayammum from the earth that is near him, whether the earth is gravel, sand, or salt land [Al-Taghabun: 16]; due to the generality of his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): Sunan Ibn Majah 567Sahih (Darussalam).
So "earth" encompasses salt land, sand, and gravel, all of it, if soil is not available [Al-Baqarah: 286], but if soil is found, he performs tayammum with soil. Yes.

جعلت لي الأرض مسجدًا وطهورًاSo "earth" encompasses salt land, sand, and gravel, all of it, if soil is not available
