Question:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Why do our ulama say Tayamum on oil bases paint not valid, whilst oil is extracted from the ground, i.e. it is from the genera of the ground<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Answer:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Purification is a fundamental condition for the validity of prayer in Islam. When water is unavailable or harmful, the Sharia\u2019s prescribes tayamum (dry ablution) as a substitute.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The surface must be from the\u00a0earth or its genus, the surface must\u00a0have dust\u00a0that transfers to the hands.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Although oil originates from the earth (e.g., as crude petroleum), once it has been chemically processed into\u00a0paint, it becomes a\u00a0manufactured substance\u00a0and\u00a0no longer retains its natural, earthy form.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Furthermore, oil-based paint forms a smooth, sealed layer, Does not release dust, and blocks access to the original surface (e.g., the wall or wood beneath). Tayamum cannot be performed on anything that: Does not give off dust and is not recognised as part of the earth\u2019s natural genus.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Painted walls especially with oil-based paint are like\u00a0wax-coated or polished surfaces and are excluded by analogy. Even if something originates from the earth, it must\u00a0retain its natural, dusty, solid form\u00a0to qualify.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Therefore, a person who performs tayamum on such a surface would be considered as having not purified themselves for the validly of the prayer. And their purification is invalid.<\/span><\/p>\n
