Chapter 42 | One’s having Little Water on a Journey but Is Afraid of Facing Thirst
4ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ قَالَ إِنْ كَانَتِ الأرْضُ مُبْتَلَّةً وَلَيْسَ فِيهَا تُرَابٌ وَلاَ مَاءٌ فَانْظُرْ أَجَفَّ مَوْضِعٍ تَجِدُهُ فَتَيَمَّمْ مِنْ غُبَارِهِ أَوْ شَيْءٍ مُغْبَرٍّ وَإِنْ كَانَ فِي حَالٍ لاَ تَجِدُ إِلاَّ الطِّينَ فَلاَ بَأْسَ أَنْ تَتَيَمَّمَ بِهِ.
4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ‘Abd Allah ibn al-Mughirah who has said the following: “(Abu ‘Abd Allah ) has said, ‘If the ground is wet and dry soil or water is not available you must look for an area which is the most dry of the others, take Tayammum with dust thereof or something with dust on it. If you can find nothing else other than clay, then it is not harmful to take Tayammum therewith.’”
