Is it permissible to perform Tayammum for prayer when water is cut off at night and will not return until morning or noon?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
One performs if water is unavailable and there is a fear of the prayer time expiring. It is obligatory for one who cannot find water to seek it before the prayer, even if by purchasing it. If water is found, one should perform ; otherwise, one performs Tayammum.
