Normally we bathe and do wudu with water. But if we face a situation with lack of water or we can't use water like wound in our body. Then what we will do?. According to islam, we can't avoid our prayers and other religious worships. So then we can do tayammum with pure soil. In today's article we discuss tayammum and its conditions.
What is tayammum
According to islam, tayammum is the use of soil instead of water in wudu and bath. Tayammum (Arabic: تيمم) is the Islamic act of dry Ritual purification using a purified sand or stone (clean stone) or clean Mud, which may be performed in place of ritual washing (wudu or ghusl) if no clean water is readily available or if one is suffering from moisture-induced skin inflammation or scaling. It is not permissible to use any of these materials if they are contaminated with Animal, Fungal dirt or waste.
4 conditions to do tayammum
- Be at the correct time. If it is a timed prayer(example: Luhar, Asar, Magrib, Isha'a and Sub'h).
- Be that soil is thahir(pure) and dust.
- Be sure that he/she can't use water.
- Clean najas from the body before tayammum.
6 Farz of tayammum (should be included)
- Niyyah. ( I do tayammum to make farl prayer halal)
- Take soil by placing your hand on it.
- Rubb face.
- Rubb two hands include elbow.
- Do it orderly and one by one.
- Make it with two beats ( Do tayammum with only two steps one for face rubbing and second one for hand rubbing)
How much furz we can do with just one tayammum?
We can do only one furl (Luhar, Asar, Magrib, isha'a and sub'h) with one tayammum. Can do any number of Sunnah prayers.
What do we consider when we do tayammum for wounds?
If we do tayammum for wounds, we have to do wudu except for wound sites. If there is a dressing or anything else we should rub water on it. We consider two hands and legs as one organ in tayammum.
How does tayammum become invalid?
Tayammum becomes invalid with all things like wudu. If we get water, tayammum will be invalid. Totally if we are in a situation of lack of water or we can't use water, then we can do tayammum. But we don't have a right to avoid prayers. May allah bless us to do all prayers perfectly…ameen
