Pearl of Wisdom

Wasa'il al-Shi'a, narrating from Ishaq b. 'Ammar: 'I said to Abu Abdullah: 'I enforced upon myself [as a vow] two units of prayer to perform while travelling or at home in thanks to Allah: 'Should I pray them while travelling during the daytime?' He said, 'Yes.' He then said, 'I hate the making of things obligatory; which is when a man makes something obligatory upon himself.' I said, 'I did not make them [the two units] obligatory on myself for Allah, but I made it incumbent for myself, to pray in thanks to Allah, and I did not make it obligatory for myself. So can I leave them, ifl want?' He said, 'Yes.?

Question : #143 Category: Wudhu / Ghusal
Subject: ghusal without water
Question: If there is no water available, can Ghusal be performed? if so, how?
Answer: Salaam alaykum,

According to the conditions (two-bow lengths) if there is no water available one must perform tayammum in place of ghusl.

There are differences of opinions amongst the maraja' regarding the method of tayammum. One would need to refer to their own marja' to learn the method.
