Question:
His second question says: Does tayammum (dry ablution with clean earth) completely replace the full ritual bath for one in a state of major ritual impurity? How many prayers can I perform with it? And what are its nullifiers?
Answer:
Tayammum (dry ablution with clean earth) takes the place of water. Allah made the earth a place of prostration and a means of purification for the Muslims. So if water is lost, or if one is unable to use it due to illness, tayammum (dry ablution with clean earth) takes its place. It remains sufficient until one finds water. If one finds water, it is obligatory for him to perform the full ritual bath for his previous state of major ritual impurity. Likewise, if the patient recovers and Allah grants him health, he performs the full ritual bath for his previous state of major ritual impurity which he had purified with tayammum (dry ablution with clean earth). This is based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sunan an-Nasa'i 322Hasan (Darussalam) Then he said: Sunan ad-Daraqutni 1:636.
So if the one in a state of major ritual impurity finds water, he touches it with his skin, meaning: he performs the full ritual bath afterwards for what has passed. As for all his prayers, they are valid with tayammum (dry ablution with clean earth) when he is unable to use water, either because water is not available, or because he is unable to use water due to an illness that prevents him from using water, until the illness ends and he recovers from it, and until he finds water, even if the period is long. Yes.
The presenter: Is it not permissible for him to remain with tayammum (dry ablution with clean earth) after he finds water?
The Shaykh: Or after he recovers.
The presenter: Or after he recovers?
The Shaykh: Yes.
The presenter: Yes, may Allah reward you with good.

Clean earth is the Wudu' of the Muslim, even if he does not find water for ten years.
الصعيد وضوء المسلم، وإن لم يجد الماء عشر سنينSo if you find water, let it touch your skin
فإذا وجدت الماء فأمسه بشرتكSo if the one in a state of major ritual impurity finds water, he touches it with his skin, meaning: he performs the full ritual bath afterwards for what has passed.
