Tayammum Procedure

The explanation of the tayammem procedure is as follows:

1. Prepare a clean dust

Use dust that is on walls, glass, or other places that feel clean.

2. Facing the Qibla

It is sunnah to face the Qiblah. Then place both palms on the dust, with the fingers of both palms together.

3. Niat

While the hand is still placed on the wall or dust, say the basmalah and the following Niat:

Nawaytu tayammuma li istibaakhati sholati lillahi ta’ala.”

Meaning: “I intend to do tayammum so that it is permissible to pray for the sake of Allah.”

Wipe both palms all over the face

In contrast to ablution, in tayamum it is not required to rub dust on the parts under the hair or facial hair. The recommended thing is to try to evenly distribute the dust on all parts of the face

Palms touch the dust

Next to the hands, put your palms back on the dust. This time the fingers are spread apart, then raise both palms with the position of the right palm on top of the left hand.

The palms touch the arms up to the elbows

Close the fingers, and try not to get the tip of the right finger out of the index finger of the left, or vice versa. The palm of the left hand rubs the right arm up to the elbow. Then, the right hand is rotated to be rubbed with the other right arm. Next, the palm of the hand rubs from the elbow until the left thumb is reunited with the right thumb. Perform these steps on the left hand.

7. Rubbing both palms

Bring your palms together and rub them between your fingers. 

8. Reading a Dua for purification

After tayammum, it is also recommended by some scholars to read a purification prayer, such as the following prayer :

I bear witness that there is no god but Allah alone with whom there is no partner. I bear witness that Muhammad SAW is His and true messenger. Oh God, make me a repentant person, make me a pure person. And make me a pious servant of yours. Blessed are You, O God. By Your kindness, I testify that there is no god but You. And with Your kindness, I ask for forgiveness and repent to You.
