If the water available to you is not sufficient for , you must search for enough water. If you do not find it, use the available water to wash some parts of your body from , then perform for the remaining parts of the body. This is the most cautious approach. Some jurists have gone to the extent of saying not to use the water if it is not sufficient for the entire ghusl, and to suffice with tayammum. Others said to use it without performing tayammum, but the first opinion is the strongest and most cautious.
