Making tayammum if water is not available at home
Question
If there is no water in the house for gusul and we cannot ask it from neighbour also, can we do tayyamum for namaz? I reside in Mumbai city.
Answer
If water is available within a radius of one mile, making tayammum will not be permissible.
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.
