| | Ghusl |
 | | Unlike what is done in wudu or ghusl, the person performing tayammum may not intend by his tayammum the lifting of the state of minor or major ritual impurity, as tayammum does not remove the state of ritual impurity but merely postpones it for the period of that act of worship. |
 | | The preconditions of tayammum are the same as the preconditions of wudu' and ghusl, the only differences being that water is replaced by earth and the arrival of the time of the prayer being a precondition of both obligation and soundness. |
 | | Those things which make ghusl obligatory: That is to say, the insertion of the head of the penis into the vagina (or anus, which is forbidden), the emission of semen, the onset of menstruation and the onset of lochia (post-natal bleeding). |
