Fathwa, - A narrow area for performing ablution does not allow for dry ablution

Question
I work all day from 8 am to 12 pm, and then from 1 pm to 5:30 pm.
Accordingly, I cannot perform the 'Asr prayer and I even pray Thuhr in
a hurry because I have only one hour for lunch. The lunch break is
really short and when I do find some time from my working hours, to
pray 'Asr , I usually cannot findspace to perform ablution as the
bathroomis too narrow for me to move. Can I perform dry ablution to
pray 'Asr and Thuhr ?
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.
May Allaah The Exalted reward you for your eagerness and adherenceto
perform prayers on time. Dear questioner, you should be informed that
it is impermissible toperform dry ablution dueto the reason you have
mentioned. One may onlyperform dry ablution when there is no water or
when one is sick and cannot use water, and the like.
However, the fact that the bathroom where you perform ablution is
narrow is not a valid reason to perform dry ablution; If you
encounter some hardship, you may put some water in a pot or soto use
for ablution.
Furthermore, we would like to caution you, dear questioner, that you
should perform prayers on time, and that it is impermissible to delay
a prayer until it passes its prescribed time. Moreover, you should
perform all the constituents of the prayer with tranquility and
calmness. Do not allow the short time of the lunch break drive youto
rush and neglect the pillars, obligations, and conditions of the
prayer.
Allaah Knows best. - - ▓███▓ Translator:->
