Must the five daily prayers performed with tayammum during travel due to the unavailability of a bathroom, despite the availability of water, be repeated after returning from travel and settling down?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Tayammum is permissible when water is unavailable, or when one is unable to use it due to illness, severe cold, or fear of harm. However, if a Muslim finds water and using it would not cause them harm, then tayammum is not permissible for them. If they perform tayammum and pray, their prayer is invalid, and they must repeat the prayers they performed with tayammum. If the prayer performed with tayammum was that of a traveler, and they will repeat it while settled, then it is more cautious to pray it as a settled person's prayer.
