Materials Suitable for Tayammum

Faṭimah: On what materials is tayammum valid?

Mother: Tayammum should be performed on earth, clods of soil, stones, or anything similar that is considered part of the ground. However, if there is a thick layer of dust on a carpet or something similar, making it akin to soft soil, tayammum on it is also valid.[1]

[1] As an obligatory precaution, the surface used for tayammum should have some dust that sticks to the hand.
