Making tayammum if it is not possible to make wudhu by oneself and there is nobody to assist
Question
I found the below statement about tayammum online, is this true?
"If performing wudu causes extreme fatigue or is too difficult due to your condition (e.g., mobility issues or severe pain), you may: Seek assistance if someone can help. Use tayammum if assistance isn't available or feasible." Is this true?
Answer
Yes, if it is not possible to make wudhu by yourself and there is nobody to assist you, you may make tayammum.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
