And if you are sick and water would increase your sickness; or you are on the road and obtaining water is difficult for you; or you have defecated or have come in contact with women and the sensation or contact stirred you to passion and you did not find water for ablution; then dry ablution (tayammum) is a religious rite: apply clean sand, dust, or dry earth lightly to your faces and hands. Allâh is Ever-Indulgent, Oft-Forgiving.
Na kama ni wagonjwa hamwezi kuyatumia maji kwa kuchelea kuzidi ugonjwa au kuchelewa kupona, au mkawa safarini na ikawa ni vigumu kwenu kuyapata maji, basi ukusudieni udongo safi. Pia vile vile anapotoka mmoja wenu chooni au mkawa mmewaingilia wake zenu na wala hamjapata maji ya kujitaharishia kwa kuyakosa, basi ukusudieni udongo safi vile vile; upigeni kwa viganja vyenu kisha mpake nyuso na mikono yenu. Hakika Mwenyezi Mungu ni shani Yake kusamehe na kughufiria.
