Q: As-Salam Alaykum, last night the police arrested me at 1 in the morning and I was on Janaba (ejaculation of sperm). I was taken into the police station and was not released until after Fajr, so in the fear that I would miss it I made Tayammum and prayed. Do I need to repeat my ghusal and prayer?
A:
الحمد لله رب العالمين والصلاة والسلام على أشرف الأنبياء والمرسلين، سيدنا ونبينا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين وبعد:
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah explains in Sharah al-Umdah: "The incarcerated in his country where its people have cut off the water supply due to an enemy, in this case he must pray with Tayammum ... as it has been narrated by Abu Dharr, the Prophet ﷺ said: "Clean earth is the Wudu of the Muslim, even if he does not find water for ten years. Then if he finds water, then let him use it (for purification) on his skin. For, that is better." [Related by Ahmad, Tirmithi and was authenticated by him] ... Hence, if he has already prayed, then he does not have to repeat (his prayer) in accordance with that which is Mashhour (prominently revised position) of the (Hanbali) Madhhab." [Sharah al-Umadah, Dar Alim al-Fawaid, Makah, 2010, V.1/P.483-484]
As for making up Ghusal due to Janaba (major state of ritual impurities), it is required, because the Tayammum that was performed at the time, can only be made for that particular prayer and situation. Also, this will fall under some of the nullifiers of Tayammum such as: Obtaining water, when the time period ends, the permitted factor for the Tayammum ceases. [See Daleel at-Talib, English translation, Dar al-Arqam, P.58-60].
والله اعلم.
