Question 40) - Is Tayammum allowed if there is water but one is sick?

A:?????????? Yes, if a sick person fears that by using water the sickness will worsen. If a Junub fears that bathing with cold water will kill him or sicken him and he does not have the means to warm the water, then he may perform Tayammum. 7

5. al-Bahr al-Raiq mentions this (133/1) and Hashiyah Ibn 'Abidin 'ala ad-Darr al-Mukhtar (149/1) gives this preference.

6. Al-Hidayah states, "If it ate a rat then immediately drank the water, it is impure, unless it waited a while to wash its mouth with its saliva. The exception is according to Imaam Abu Hanifa RA. and Abu Yusuf. If there is a need for the water, the requirement is to pour out the water falls away. Ibnul Humam says that this is not according to Muhammed because according to him impurity is not removed except with water."

7. AlBahr ar-Raiq (149/1) states: Know that it is permissible for the Junub according to Imaam Abu Hanifa RA when he is unable to warm the water Or afford the fee of the public baths in the city, and he does not have clothing to keep him warm, nor a place to shelter; as has been noted in al-Badai' and Sharh Jami'as-Saghir of Qadi Khan.
