Is it permissible for one who has performed tayammum to pray more than one obligatory prayer with a single tayammum so long as his ritual purity has not been invalidated, or is a single tayammum sufficient for only one obligatory prayer, after which tayammum must be performed anew for the supererogatory prayers that were not prayed immediately after the obligatory one?

Tayammum has nullifiers in addition to those of Wudu, including seeing water, the expiration of the prayer time according to the majority of scholars, and the removal of the excuse that permitted Tayammum. The majority of jurists hold that a person who performs Tayammum may only pray one obligatory prayer and supererogatory prayers with that Tayammum. The Malikis stipulated that Tayammum must immediately precede the obligatory prayer. Whereas the Hanafis permitted praying as many obligatory and supererogatory prayers as one wishes with a single Tayammum. The opinion of the majority holds weight and strength, and it is built upon established rules and principles.
