Fatwa #3463514 December 2015Pakistan
If i am impure and there is not enough water for ghusl but enough for wudhu. How do I pray my Salaah?
Question
if a person becomes deliberately Junub and there is not sufficient water avaliable for bath, although there is water for wudu. In this situation how can he offer his prayers?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Assalāmu ῾alaykum wa Rahmatullāhi Wabarakātu
If one can perform ghusl with the water of the wudhu, then ghusl has to be performed. One requires approximately 5 litres to make ghusl.[1]
If the water of the wudhu is not sufficient to make ghusl, then one should perform tayammum and perform Salah.[2]
And Allāh Ta῾āla Knows Best
