'''Tayammum''' (Arabic:{{iarabic|التیمم}}) is a ritual act which becomes obligatory instead of [[Wudu]] or [[Ghusl]]. Its steps are: hitting the palms of both hands on soil and rubbing them on the forehead and the back of the hands. Fruits of Tayammum are like Wudu and Ghusl and has no difference with them regarding the purity it brings. Tayammum is also called Taharat Turabiyya ({{iarabic|الطهارة الترابية}}).
'''Tayammum''' (Arabic:{{iarabic|التیمم}}) is a ritual act which becomes obligatory instead of [[Wudu]] or [[Ghusl]]. Its steps are: hitting the palms of both hands on soil and rubbing them on the forehead and the back of the hands. The purity created by Tayammum is similar to that of Wudu and Ghusl and has no difference. Tayammum is also called Taharat Turabiyya ({{iarabic|الطهارة الترابية}}).


Two [[verses]] of the [[Qur'an]] have mentioned the way of Tayammum and more than 220 [[hadiths]] are about Tayammum.
Two [[verses]] of the [[Qur'an]] and more than 220 [[hadiths]] discuss Tayammum and its conditions and rulings.


== Meaning ==
== Meaning ==
The word "Tayammum" is derived from the root "y-m-m" ({{iarabic|ي-م-م}}) or "A-m-m" ({{iarabic|أ-م-م}}) which means "to intend" and in [[fiqh]], it refers to the act of touching the forehead and the back of the hands. If [[Wudu]] or [[Ghusl]] is not possible, Tayammum replaces them. Tayammum is also called "Taharat Turabiyya" while Wudu and Ghusl are called "Taharat Ma'iyya" ({{iarabic|الطهارة المائية}}).
In jurisprudential terminology, the word "Tayammum" refers to the act of touching the forehead and the back of the hands. If [[Wudu]] or [[Ghusl]] is not possible, Tayammum substitutes them. Tayammum is also called "Taharat Turabiyya" while Wudu and Ghusl are called "Taharat Ma'iyya" ({{iarabic|الطهارة المائية}}).

== Tayammum Instead of Wudu or Ghusl ==
== As a Substitute for Wudu or Ghusl ==
One who cannot perform Wudu, needs to perform Tayammum instead of Wudu for doing things which require Wudu and one who cannot perform Ghusl, needs to perform Tayammum instead of Ghusl for doing things which require Ghusl. If Tayammum is done instead of Ghusl of [[Janabat]] and then one of the things which cancels Wudu (such as urinating or sleeping) happens, (if the person is still in a condition which requires Ghusl), for doing things like prayer, he needs to perform Wudu if he can, otherwise he has to perform Tayammum instead of Wudu. There are different opinions regarding sufficiency of Tayammum instead of Ghusl of Janabat instead of Wudu or Tayammum instead of Wudu.

These two Tayammum are different and some fiqh scholars believe that in Tayammum instead of Ghusl, one needs to hit the palms of his hands on soil twice, once at the beginning and once before rubbing the back of his hands.

According to the verse 6 of [[sura]] al-Ma'ida, Tayammum need to be done on "Sa'id" ({{iarabic|سعيد}}), but there are different opinions among linguistics and thus among authorities whether "Sa'id" only refers to the soil or whatever which grows out of the earth.

* In case of absence of the issue because of which one has performed Tayammum, there are different fatwas about repeating the practices he has made if he still has purity if the time for performing that practice is not over; for example, if in the afternoon, one thinks that he will not find water and performs his prayer by doing Tayammum, but later he finds water, there are different fatwas about whether or not he has to repeat his prayer after performing Wudu or Ghusl.
* If the cause for which one has performed Tayammum is no longer in place, there are different fatwas about repeating the practices one has performed while in Tayammum. For example, if in the afternoon, one thinks that one will not find water and performs one's prayer by doing Tayammum, but later one finds water, there are different fatwas about whether or not one has to repeat his prayer after performing Wudu or Ghusl.
