== 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 al-Janaba]] 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.<ref>Imām Khomeinī, ''Tawḍīh al-masāʾil'',ruling. 724. </ref> There are different opinions regarding sufficiency of tayammum instead of Ghusl of Janabat instead of Wudu or tayammum instead of Wudu.<ref>Imām Khomeinī,''Tawḍīh al-masāʾil'', ruling. 724.</ref>

These two tayammums are different and some jurisprudents believe that in tayammum instead of Ghusl,<ref>Imām Khomeinī,''Tawḍīh al-masāʾil'', ruling. 724.</ref> 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 [[Qur'an 5]]:6, tayammum need to be performed on "Sa'id" ({{ia|صَعید}}), but there are different opinions among lexicologists and thus among [[marja']]s whether "Sa'id" only refers to the soil or whatever grows out of the earth.

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.
