The Ruling on Performing Tayammum on a Wall

Question
Is a wall considered to be of the same nature as soil? Is it permissible to perform tayammum on it?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: Walls are usually painted, and this paint burns in fire, so it is not permissible to perform tayammum on them, except if there is visible dust on them, in which case it is permissible, and God knows best.
