يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِذَا قُمۡتُمۡ إِلَى ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ فَٱغۡسِلُواْ وُجُوهَكُمۡ وَأَيۡدِيَكُمۡ إِلَى ٱلۡمَرَافِقِ وَٱمۡسَحُواْ بِرُءُوسِكُمۡ وَأَرۡجُلَكُمۡ إِلَى ٱلۡكَعۡبَيۡنِۚ وَإِن كُنتُمۡ جُنُبٗا فَٱطَّهَّرُواْۚ وَإِن كُنتُم مَّرۡضَىٰٓ أَوۡ عَلَىٰ سَفَرٍ أَوۡ جَآءَ أَحَدٞ مِّنكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡغَآئِطِ أَوۡ لَٰمَسۡتُمُ ٱلنِّسَآءَ فَلَمۡ تَجِدُواْ مَآءٗ فَتَيَمَّمُواْ صَعِيدٗا طَيِّبٗا فَٱمۡسَحُواْ بِوُجُوهِكُمۡ وَأَيۡدِيكُم مِّنۡهُۚ مَا يُرِيدُ ٱللَّهُ لِيَجۡعَلَ عَلَيۡكُم مِّنۡ حَرَجٖ وَلَٰكِن يُرِيدُ لِيُطَهِّرَكُمۡ وَلِيُتِمَّ نِعۡمَتَهُۥ عَلَيۡكُمۡ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَشۡكُرُونَ

O you who have believed, when you rise to [perform] prayer, wash your faces and your forearms to the elbows and wipe over your heads and wash your feet to the ankles. And if you are in a state of janābah,245 then purify yourselves. But if you are ill or on a journey or one of you comes from the place of relieving himself or you have contacted women246 and do not find water, then seek clean earth and wipe over your faces and hands with it. Allāh does not intend to make difficulty for you, but He intends to purify you and complete His favor upon you that you may be grateful.

Tafsir · 5:6

Al-Mukhtasar

O you who believe, when you want to establish the prayer, and you are in a state of minor impurity, then perform Wudhu (ritual ablution) by washing your faces and then your hands, including the elbows, then by wiping your heads and washing your feet together with the ankle bones that protrude from the shin. But, if you are in a state of major impurity, perform Ghusl (ritual bathing). If you are sick and you fear that the sickness will get worse or it will take longer to recover, or if you are well but on a journey, or if you are in a state of minor impurity after going to the toilet, for example, or in a state of major impurity after sexual intercourse, and you do not find water to purify yourselves with, despite having searched for it, then use the earth by striking it with your palms and then wiping over your faces and hands. Allah does not wish to make His rulings difficult by making you use water when it will harm you. So, He has legislated an alternative when you cannot use water because it is unavailable or you are sick to complete His favor upon you so that you may be thankful for what Allah blessed you with and not be ungrateful.
