Is one to perform tayammum for every act necessitating ghusl, by analogy with performing ghusl for every act necessitating it?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
"Whoever is required to perform cannot substitute it with unless they are unable to use water or water is unavailable. In such a case, tayammum becomes a substitute for ghusl, allowing the Muslim to pray, touch the Qur'an, and so forth. The proof for this is the saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: 'Indeed, pure earth is the purification for the Muslim, even if he does not find water for ten years. But if he finds water, he should let it touch his skin, for that is better.'"
