Reperforming the Prayer After Performing It with Tayammum
Is it required according to our masters the Hanafis that if someone performs tayammum due to illness or cold from janabah, and cannot wash due to lack of time and fear of missing the preferred time for prayer, should they make up the obligatory prayer for which they performed tayammum after washing?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is permissible to perform tayammum (dry ablution) due to illness or cold if one fears that the illness will worsen because of it, and there is no need to repeat it. However, if time is short for the obligatory prayers, this is not an excuse for praying with tayammum, and one must perform wudu (ablution). And God knows best.
