Rukun Tayamum, Requirements, Reasons, Steps, and Nullifiers

Tayamum is a concession from Allah SWT as a substitute for wudu or ritual bathing when there's no water or due to certain conditions. Tayamum is done by wiping pure dust or earth over the entire face and both hands up to the elbows. This act of worship is only valid in situations like the absence of water, illness, difficulty finding water, or extreme weather. The requirements for valid tayamum include: the prayer time has entered, you've tried to find water, using pure dust or earth free from impurities, and making sure your body and clothes are clean from impurities. The essentials of tayamum consist of intention, wiping the face, wiping both hands up to the elbows, and doing it in order. The intention is recited in the heart when patting the dust, followed by spreading the dust on the face and both hands in sequence. The steps for tayamum start with the intention, placing the palms on pure dust, blowing or patting lightly to reduce the thickness of the dust, wiping the face, then wiping the right and left hands up to the elbows. After that, it's recommended to recite a prayer. Tayamum is nullified if something happens that would break wudu, like passing something from the two private parts, losing consciousness, or touching a non-mahram of the opposite sex. Tayamum is also nullified if you find water before the prayer, and it's only valid for one obligatory prayer. https://mozaik.inilah.com/ibadah/rukun-tayamum-lengkap-dengan-syarat-sebab-tata-cara-pembatal-dan-doanya
