Tayammum Due To Weakness

· 10 Jumada II 1433 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I have water, but I’m very weak. I cannot lift my legs also, can I make tayammum?

If raising the leg is difficult, try making wudhu sitting on a chair and wash your feet in a basin. Washing the feet in this way does not require you to raise your feet much.
