Question 43 ) - With what is Tayammum made?

A: Tayammum is permitted with pure dust and whatever is of the earth such as sand, plaster of Paris, lime, antimony and stone even if it is smooth without any dust. It is a condition for all these substances to be pure. This is according to Imaam Abu Hanifa RA and Imaam Muhammed RA. According to Imaam Abu Yusuf RA it is not permitted except with dust and sand and they must be pure. May Allaah's mercy be on them all.
