- From the Quran: Allah Almighty says: (And if you are ill or on a journey or one of you comes from the place of relieving himself or you have contacted women and find no water, then seek clean earth and wipe over your faces and hands [with it]. Indeed, Allah is ever Pardoning and Forgiving.) [An-Nisa: 43]. - From the Sunnah: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The earth has been made for me a place of prostration and a means of purification."
