Situations Requiring Tayammum

Faṭimah: In what situations does our obligation shift from wuḍū or ghusl to tayammum?

Mother: There are many situations, but the most important ones are:

1.
If there is not enough water to perform wuḍū or ghusl, and we are unable to obtain more.

2.
If the time for prayer is so short that we cannot complete the prayer within its prescribed time after performing wuḍū or ghusl.

3.
If there is a fear that using water for wuḍū or ghusl would cause harm, such as making us ill, prolonging an illness, or making it harder to recover.
