How does exploring soil, purified sand, or dust of Tayammum make a person cleaner?
There is something, in my humble opinion, I really don't understand regarding Tayammum. According to the law, it's possible for one to **clean** himself by exploring soil, purified sand, or dust? (in case he doesn't have water). Let's assume that one has already clean hands and face and now he has t...

Let's assume that one has already clean hands and face and now he has to put them into the sand, how does it make them cleaner? I'm a bit confused by that.

I have urine incontinence, can I do tayammum?
I have urine incontinence and it makes salat and wudu very difficult to do. Sometimes I even do wudu 3 times just to pray 1 salat.

Can I do tayammum because doing wudu and repeating salat everytime I drop a drop of urine is very hard and exhausting? Isn't Islam "dinu yusr" so it makes practicing it easy for the muslims in condition?

Besides, we cannot do tayammum as the earth is surrounded with snow. We cannot also heat it to get water out of it as the snow is frozen. So can we delay the mo...

So can we delay the morning prayer until afternoon when the water is available ?

I am a returning Muslim and live in Europe. As day time all namaz happen and I have confusion over how to perform namaz. As I use toilet in office with toilet role and I don’t know any other way to do wudu as there is no places in offices In Europe.
I heard about tayamum, (dried wudu). Is it something I can do in my case?
My namaz are missed in the confusion of using toilet roll after passing feces and having a weak bladder which keep dripping.
How can I not miss my prayers!?

I was taught that a wall or any place that has the capability to acquire dirt can be used for tayammum but after going through this answer on What are the materials used for tayammum? which prohibits the walls without a reference and also going listening to a speaker on youtube I came across this new information **that walls are not allowed for tayyamum**.
1. I would like to know if there is a difference of opinion and which madhabs do or do not allow wall as an object of tayammum
2. If wall is not allowed, then how would a bedridden person suppose to do? he/she can go to the toilet with great difficulty in the first place so how should he/she prepare oneself(the wudhu replacement) for salah?
> perform Tayammum with clean Earth
>
> (al-Nisa’ 4:43)
In my opinion walls/doors ( irrespective of painted or not), are permissible since everything is directly or indirectly is created from products of Earth (example trees, paint polymers etc which are made from materials found on earth itself and not Mars)

I think my question is somewhat related to:https://islam.stackexchange.com/questions/14475/what-should-be-done-regarding-salat-on-a-long-flight
However I'd like to know what is the most correct choice for the purification during a flight (if one for example would miss a prayer if he/she wouldn't pray in the aircraft):
Could we say tayamum is valid or would it need wudu'?
I mean in the aircraft of course there are toilets with water, but isn't it an abuse to use this water for wudu' and therefore one could do tayamum or is wudu' necessary because water is available?

If I break my tayammum of ghusl by breaking a wind am I in a state of Janabah or not?

Can I perform tayammum (dry ablution) instead of wudu in the Canadian winter?
I live in Canada, where in the winter, you can't remove your several layers of clothing to expose your hands and feet to make wudu, even if water is available. Can I perform [Tayammum][1] (dry ablution) in such case? In winter the grounds are covered by thick layer of ice, and soil is not available....
