is only permissible when water is unavailable, or one is unable to use it, or its use would cause harm. must be performed at home before going to work or at night if it becomes obligatory. If the time for prayer arrives and she has not performed ghusl, she must look for a place to perform it. If, after searching, she finds no means of purification and fears the prayer time will expire, then tayammum for prayer becomes obligatory.
