فصل في التيمّم

Whoever does not find water outside the town when there is a mile between him and the town…

…or he finds it while he fears thirst.

…or he is ill and fears worsening of his illness by movement or by using it.

…or he is junub in the town and fears severe cold.

…or he fears for his life or property from an enemy or a predator.

…or he finds it sold at an outrageous loss … or at the going price while he cannot afford it—he performs tayammum.

He performs tayammum while water exists for fear of missing Eid or funeral prayer, and the guardian [acts] for another; not for fear of missing Friday or the time [alone].

If water is with his companion, seeking it before tayammum is recommended.

Seeking water is not obligatory unless he strongly supposes it is near him.

Tayammum is two strikes: one strike for the face.

And a strike for the two hands including the elbows.

He combs his fingers and removes his ring.

Intention therein is obligatory.

It is valid with clean earth (ṣaʿīd): everything of the genus of earth—such as soil, sand, stone, lime, kohl, gypsum, and arsenic.

Tayammum for ḥadath and janāba is the same.

It is nullified by what nullifies wuḍūʾ.

Also by seeing water when he is able to use it.

Whoever hopes for water at the end of the time, delaying prayer is better for him.

He prays with his tayammum as much as he wishes, obligatory or supererogatory.

If he forgot water in his baggage or water was near him without his knowing, then he performed tayammum and prayed, it suffices him.

What is set out on roads for drinking does not prevent tayammum unless he knows from its abundance that it was placed for wuḍūʾ and drinking.
