Tayammum, like wudu’, also comes
to an end when:

• A person passes urine and stool,
  or breaks wind.


• There is a flow of blood or pus
  from any part of the body.


• A person vomits (a mouthful).


• One falls asleep.

AN IMPORTANTPOINT TO

REMEMBER

Tayammumis a practice of special significance

in Islam. The primary significance of ablution and

bathing is religious and the aspect of hygiene is a mat-

ter of secondary importance. These practices have

been enjoined upon us as religious duties in order to

prepare ourselves physically and mentally for the per-

formance of the main duty (salah). Allah has directed

us to perform Tayammumin case water is not available

or we are unable to make use of it. This practice is

meant to retain the spiritual value of wudu’ (ablution) as

a means of distracting us from the mundane activities

of life and directing us towards Allah. The question may

be asked why pure sand has been recommended for

purification. The answer is that after water the next

most easily available thing in the world is sand.

Secondly, its use reminds a man of his birth and his

abode in the grave. Moreover, its wiping over the face

and hands strikes at the very root of man’s vanity and

pride and inculcates in him a spirit of humility.
