1-One must intend to
make at-Tayammum and then say Bismillah.
Al-Uthaymeen states
that the person intends in the heart to purify himself using earth, and this is
condition.
The Niyyah is something
intended in the heart and not something verbal.
Then he says Bismillah;
the correct opinion is that this is Mustahab but the Hanablees state that this
is Waajib.
2. He beats the earth
with both his hands. The Hanbalees say it must be something which is granular
but not sand.
Al-Uthaymeen explains
that anything from the earth is sufficient (such as stone, mud, sand etc.).
3. His hands being slightly
parted.
Al-Uthaymeen explains
that this is because earth needs to envelope all parts of his hands, including
between the fingers. However, al-Uthaymeen states that there is no actual
evidence for parting the fingers.
4. He wipes over his
face. Al-Uthaymeen explains with the palm of his hands.
5. One wipes his the
outer part of each hand with the palm of the opposite.
Al-Uthaymeen explains
after beating the earth with the palms, he uses the left palm to wipe over the
other part of the right hand and the palm of the right hand to wipe over the
outer part of the left hand.
The Hanbalees said
that whilst wiping the face, parts of the palm must not touch the face in order
for the wiping over the hands to be valid, because the same sand can’t be used
twice. Hence, they split earth, like types of water, into that which is:
-Pure (طاهر)
-Pure and purifies (مطهور)
-Impure (نجس)
Al-Uthaymeen states
that this opinion of theirs is not correct because there is no real evidence
for this division. Rather the evidence is against it, as the Hadeeth of Ammaar,
in which the Prophet described the Tayammum as being one beating and complete
wiping, proves. Therefore, one can use the earth on his palms for both wiping
of the head and what’s left over for the hands.
