What should I do in this case? I want to perform salah but I do not have a chance to take a shower, please let me know, can I do tayammum?
Question
Hi, I am a new beginner in salah. I am married and my wife is asking for a intimacy sometimes, I know that after conjugal relations I must take a shower. But it is sometimes impossible to take a shower because there is no opportunity at home.
When I refuse, my wife gets frustrated with me and I do not want to overlook her rights as well.
What should I do in this case? I want to perform salah but I do not have a chance to take a shower, please let me know, can I do tayammum?
Answer
Assalāmu `alaikum Warahmatullāhi Wabrakatuh,
May Allah keep you firm in salah. What do you mean by not having opportunity to take a shower at home? Is there no water? Or is it too cold and hot water is not available and you fear getting sick? What is the actual problem? Kindly elaborate.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
