Tayammum is sanctioned by the Qur'an, Sunnah, and scholarly consensus. Jurists have differed on whether it is a concession (rukhsah) or an obligation (azimah). The majority of jurists hold that it is a concession for the traveler and the ill, while the Hanbalis and some Shafi'is view it as an obligation. The Malikis differed regarding tayammum for the traveler.
