Al-Ma'idah 5:6 يا ايها الذين امنوا اذا قمتم الى الصلاة فاغسلوا وجوهكم وايديكم الى المرافق وامسحوا برءوسكم وارجلكم الى الكعبين وان كنتم جنبا فاطهروا وان كنتم مرضى او على سفر او جاء احد منكم من الغايط او لامستم النساء فلم تجدوا ماء فتيمموا صعيدا طيبا فامسحوا بوجوهكم وايديكم منه ما يريد الله ليجعل عليكم من حرج ولاكن يريد ليطهركم وليتم نعمته عليكم لعلكم تشكرون ٦
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا
ٱلَّذِينَ
ءَامَنُوٓاْ
إِذَا
قُمۡتُمۡ
إِلَى
ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ
فَٱغۡسِلُواْ
وُجُوهَكُمۡ
وَأَيۡدِيَكُمۡ
إِلَى
ٱلۡمَرَافِقِ
وَٱمۡسَحُواْ
بِرُءُوسِكُمۡ
وَأَرۡجُلَكُمۡ
إِلَى
ٱلۡكَعۡبَيۡنِۚ
وَإِن
كُنتُمۡ
جُنُبٗا
فَٱطَّهَّرُواْۚ
وَإِن
كُنتُم
مَّرۡضَىٰٓ

عَلَىٰ
سَفَرٍ
أَوۡ
جَآءَ
أَحَدٞ
مِّنكُم
مِّنَ
ٱلۡغَآئِطِ
أَوۡ
لَٰمَسۡتُمُ
ٱلنِّسَآءَ
فَلَمۡ
تَجِدُواْ
مَآءٗ
فَتَيَمَّمُواْ
صَعِيدٗا
طَيِّبٗا
فَٱمۡسَحُواْ
بِوُجُوهِكُمۡ
وَأَيۡدِيكُم
مِّنۡهُۚ
مَا
يُرِيدُ
ٱللَّهُ
لِيَجۡعَلَ
عَلَيۡكُم
مِّنۡ
حَرَجٖ
وَلَٰكِن
يُرِيدُ
لِيُطَهِّرَكُمۡ
وَلِيُتِمَّ
نِعۡمَتَهُۥ
عَلَيۡكُمۡ
لَعَلَّكُمۡ
تَشۡكُرُونَ

You who believe, when you are about to pray, wash your faces and your hands up to the elbows, wipe your heads, wash your feet up to the ankles and, if required, wash your whole body. If any of you is sick or on a journey, or has just relieved himself, or had intimate contact with a woman, and can find no water, then take some clean sand and wipe your face and hands with it. God does not wish to place any burden on you: He only wishes to cleanse you and perfect His blessing on you, so that you may be thankful.
