The answer

It is not permissible to perform (dry ablution) when water is available, except in the case of illness where the use of water would be harmful, or if there is insufficient water for purification and essential needs (drinking and cooking). Therefore, anyone who has water in excess of their essential needs and is not ill must purify themselves for prayer ( or wudu). If one performs tayammum in this situation, their prayer is invalid, by agreement of the scholars.
