Information for "MuwataMalik-017-001-36169"

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abd arRahman Ibn Harmala that a man asked Said Ibn AlMusayab about what a man who was junub and had done tayammum should do when he came across water. Said said; When he comes across water he must do ghusl for what comes after. Malik said about some one who had a wet dream while he was on a journey and there was only enough water for Ablution and he was not thirsty and so he did not need to use it for that; Let him wash his genitals; and whatever the semen has fallen on; with the water and then he does tayammum with good earth as Allah has ordered him. Malik was asked whether a man who was junub and wished to do tayammum but could only find salty earth could do tayammum with that earth; and whether it was disapproved of to pray on salty earth. He said; There is no harm in praying on salty earth or in using it to do tayammum; because Allah the Blessed and Exalted has said;...and do tayammum with good earth. One is purified by tayammum with everything that is earth; whether it is salty or otherwise.
