When water has changed in both colour and property to the extent that you find yourself in real in a state of revulsion when using it. 7. When your responsibility is to use the limited quantity of water to remove the najasah from the mosque. 8. When you fear you become sick as a result of using water for ghusl or wudhu, or using water could complicate your ill health. However, this should be the case when the matter does not come under the subject of wiping (mas’h) over a jabirah (lit.

splint: a generic name used for any form of dressing any part of the body after injury or illness), especially when there is a risk of worsening the state of the injury or ailment if the dressing is removed, and the part of the body is not among that which is covered by the ruling concerning the wiping on jabirah. * And what is jabirah? - We’ll discuss it in detail in our forthcoming dialogue. * Now, I know when I should do tayamum. But with what should I perform it?

●You can use earth dust, sand, shingle, stone, or anything of that sort, provided that each one of these should be tahir, [clean], and not usurped (maghsoub). * How should I go about tayamum? - I’ll show you how it is done. As he was talking he started by taking off his ring. He then hit the bare earth with [both] the palms of his hands once. With both the palms of his hands, he wiped his forehead, between the hair line, and the top of the nose including the eyebrows.

When he reached the top of his nose, he stopped, and removed his hands. Then he wiped the back of his right hand with the palm of his left hand from the forearm to the fingertips. He did the same thing to wipe the back of his left hand, using the palm of his right hand. * Isn’t it quick and easy! - Yes, it is not only taymum that is so easy.

Allah, the Exalted says in the Holy Qur’an, “..Allah desires ease for you, and He does not desire for you difficulty..” (4/185) * Are there any conditions that should be observed when performing tayamum? - Yes: 1. You must have a valid reason for not using water for ghusl and/or wudhu, as has been explained earlier on. 2. You must make niyyah, seeking closeness to Allah. 3.

That which is used for taymum must be tahir, [clean], not usurped, and not mixed with other substances, such as ash, unless the mixture was greatly diluted. 4. [That which is used for taymum must leave traces in your hands. Thus, it is not permissible to use smooth stone with no dust covering it]. 5.
