How should one perform ghusl without water?
Question
ASSALMUALAIKUMM WARAHAMATULLAH MY QUESTION IS IF ANYONE GET EHTLAMM BUT THERE IS NO SITUATION OF WATER THEN HOW ONE CAN SHOULD DO GHUSL
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykumwa-rahmatullāhiwa-barakātuh.
If a person has to perform Fardh ghusl and is unable to find water then he should perform tayammum. This will be a valid substitute for ghusl until he finds water.[1]
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
