Arabic text

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِذَا قُمْتُمْ إِلَى ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ فَٱغْسِلُوا۟ وُجُوهَكُمْ وَأَيْدِيَكُمْ إِلَى ٱلْمَرَافِقِ وَٱمْسَحُوا۟ بِرُءُوسِكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُمْ إِلَى ٱلْكَعْبَيْنِ ۚ وَإِن كُنتُمْ جُنُبًا فَٱطَّهَّرُوا۟ ۚ وَإِن كُنتُم مَّرْضَىٰٓ أَوْ عَلَىٰ سَفَرٍ أَوْ جَآءَ أَحَدٌ مِّنكُم مِّنَ ٱلْغَآئِطِ أَوْ لَـٰمَسْتُمُ ٱلنِّسَآءَ فَلَمْ تَجِدُوا۟ مَآءً فَتَيَمَّمُوا۟ صَعِيدًا طَيِّبًا فَٱمْسَحُوا۟ بِوُجُوهِكُمْ وَأَيْدِيكُم مِّنْهُ ۚ مَا يُرِيدُ ٱللَّهُ لِيَجْعَلَ عَلَيْكُم مِّنْ حَرَجٍ وَلَـٰكِن يُرِيدُ لِيُطَهِّرَكُمْ وَلِيُتِمَّ نِعْمَتَهُۥ عَلَيْكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ

Translation

O you who have Imaan! When you stand up to perform salaah, wash your faces, your arms up to (and including) the elbows, pass wet hands over your heads and (wash) your feet up to (and including) your ankles. If you are impure (in need of Ghusl), then purify yourselves well. If you are ill, on journey, returning from the toilet or from touching (engaging in sexual relations with) your wives, and you do not find any water (or you are unable to use water for Wudhu or for Ghusl), then use clean soil to perform Tayammum, wiping your faces and arms (including elbows) with it (with the soil). Allaah does not want to place any difficulty (hardship) on you (by forcing you to use water only), but wants to purify you (from dirt and from sin, because He is Pure and loves purity) and (wants to) complete His favour to you (by teaching you the laws of the Shari'ah) so that you may be grateful (Remember the boons and favours of your Rabb).

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

يا أيها الذين آمنوا إذا أردتم القيام إلى الصلاة، وأنتم على غير طهارة فاغسلوا وجوهكم وأيديكم مع المرافق (والمِرْفَق: المِفْصَل الذي بين الذراع والعَضُد) وامسحوا رؤوسكم، واغسلوا أرجلكم مع الكعبين (وهما: العظمان البارزان عند ملتقى الساق بالقدم) . وإن أصابكم الحدث الأكبر فتطهروا بالاغتسال منه قبل الصلاة.
