Fathwa, - How can a traveler by land purify herself after menstruation

Question
Is it permissible to delay Ghusl for menstruation while traveling
until I reach my country? I travel by land and want to know what I
should doin this case .
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad
, is His Slave and Messenger.
Purification with water isobligatory and a prerequisite for performing
the prayer, unless there is a Sharee'ah-approved justification, such
as the unavailability of water. In the latter case, purification with
earth (Tayammum) will be the alternative. Allaah The Almighty Says
(what means): { But if you are illor on a journey or one ofyou comes
from the placeof relieving himself or you have contacted women and do
not find water, then seek clean earth and wipe over yourfaces and
hands with it. } [Quran 5: 6]
If delaying Ghusl while traveling will cause you to miss the prayer's
fixed time, then it is one of the grave major sins. Consequently, you
are not permitted to delay Ghusl while traveling until you return
home. If there is not enough water for Ghusl, or there is water but
you need it for drinking, you can perform Tayammum and then pray.
Nevertheless, it is rare nowadays to be without water when one is
traveling by land because there are many bathrooms spread along paved
roads and many stations and rest houses.
Allaah Knows best. - - ▓███▓ Translator:->
