If a Muslim cannot find water or is unable to use it due to illness, he may perform (dry ablution) with pure earth, according to the Almighty's saying: "And if you find no water, then perform tayammum with clean earth," and according to the Prophet's (PBUH) saying: "Pure earth is the ablution of a Muslim, even if he does not find water for ten years." One who lacks water must search for it before performing tayammum, and he is not obligated to purchase it at an exorbitant price. He must use water if he finds it.
