Tayammum on the ground that has been purified by the sun and wind after being affected by impurity
Is it permissible to perform tayammum on the ground that has been purified by the sun and wind after being affected by impurity?
Answer
It is not permissible; this is due to the requirement of pure soil in the act of tayammum, as stated in His Almighty's words: (So perform tayammum with pure soil); and because dirt is pure and purifying, and when it dries after impurity, it becomes pure but not purifying, even if it is permissible to pray on it. Refer to: Al-Bahr Al-Ra'iq 1: 237, Al-Wiqayah p. 131, and the explanation of Al-Wiqayah by Ibn Malik Q19/b.
