slms if a person needs ghusl and there is no water and he goes to work and zuhr approaches, what must he do?(there is water for wudhu)

Answer

If he is in need of an obligatory ghusl (bath) and water is not available within a radius of one mile, then he may make tayammum with the intention of obligatory Ghusl. However, if he finds water before performing Salaat, then he should take a bath with this water.

If Dhuhr Salaat approaches, then he must first perform Salaat and then you should go to work. Whatever amount of water is there, he should save it and utilise it for Wudhu. (Nurul idhaah pg.42)

“A1) One should refrain from making Tilaawat by the deceased before Ghusl is executed due to the deceased being in a state of Najaasat (due to death). A2) If one is not in the same room as the deceased, then one may make Tilaawat…”
