How does a traveler who cannot find water perform tayammum to combine two prayers, either by advancing or delaying them, according to the majority opinion? And is he required to perform two tayammums?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The jurists differed on the ruling concerning combining two prayers with a single tayammum. Some, such as the Hanbalis and Hanafis, permitted it, while others, such as the Shafi'is and Malikis, prohibited it. Al-Nawawi adopted the view of the Shafi'i school, which holds that it is not permissible to combine two obligatory prayers with a single tayammum, and he reported this from most scholars. He also mentioned a differing opinion from Ibn al-Musayyib, Al-Hasan, Al-Zuhri, and Abu Hanifa, who permitted performing obligatory prayers as long as ritual impurity (hadath) has not occurred. According to the view of prohibition, a traveler must perform tayammum for each prayer separately, and a slight separation between the two prayers does not cause harm.
