Tayammum, You may perform your Salah by preceding it with Tayammum as a substitute for Dry Ablution or Bathing Janaba [Wudu or Ghusl e janaba].


When can you do Tayammum?


Allah SWT said in the Quran : Believers, when you are about to pray, wash your face, your hands and arms up to the elbows, and pass your wet hands lightly over your head and wash your feet up to the ankles. After sexual intercourse, purify yourselves. If you are ill, or are travelling, or have just relieved yourself, or have had intimate contact with a woman and cannot find water, then take some dust and use it to wipe your face and hands. God does not wish to place any burden on you, but wants to make you pure and to perfect His grace on you, so that you may be thankful. [Quran 5 : 6]


In another verse of the Quran:


...If you are ill, are traveling, have relieved yourselves, or had intercourse, and cannot find any water, then find some pure dust and wipe your faces and your hands with it... [Quran 4 : 43]


When a person cannot find water or sick and cannot use water. The use of water is likely to do harm, cause or worsen an illness, or delay the cure. In any of these instances, it is permissible to make Tayammum.
