What is the ruling on someone who prayed with tayammum and then found water?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If someone who could not find water performed and prayed, then found water after the prayer's time had expired, there is no re-performance required of him, by consensus. However, if he found it while there was still time remaining, the preponderant opinion is that re-performance is not required. This is the of Malik, Ahmad, and Al-Shafi'i. Some jurists, however, held that re-performance is obligatory, and in this case, the worshipper will receive two rewards, as mentioned in the of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri.
