Salamu ‘alaikum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh
May Allah bless our Prophet, and our Shuyukh and their families.
Please concerning Tayammum, what is considered as clean earth?
There’s a hadith (Abu dawud # 331) where the Holy Prophet (SAWS) made Tayammum on a wall. Is it only on walls made of earth ?
Can we do tayammum on the grass of a park or on the cement of the streets or on a gypsum or plaster wall ( like in Canada)? Thank you, jazakAllahu khair.
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
We can do Tayammum using a piece of ground free of najaasah (unclean elements). This could be any natural surface such as rock, sand, or dust.
