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> | 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.
