The answer

If the sister asking the question is harmed by using water for (major ritual impurity) or wudu (ablution), she may perform (dry ablution), for Allah Almighty says: "And if you are ill or on a journey or one of you comes from the place of relieving himself or you have contacted women and find no water, then seek clean earth and wipe over your faces and hands."
