The answer

It is not permissible to perform (dry ablution) when water is available and one is able to use it. One must search for water, based on the Almighty's saying: "And if you find no water, then take for yourselves clean earth and wipe your faces and your hands with it." If water is available for sale at its usual price or with a slight increase, tayammum is not valid for someone who can afford to buy it. If she does not find water after searching, she may perform tayammum. However, if she can delay the prayer to perform ablution at home before the time expires, that is better.
