Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said regarding the verse: "And do not approach prayer unless you are in a state of purity, except for those who are travelers who are struck with major impurity..." (An-Nisa 4:43): This verse was revealed regarding travelers who experience major impurity and cannot find water. They may perform tayammum and pray. In another narration, it is mentioned that a traveler who experiences janabah (major impurity) and does not find water should perform tayammum and pray until they find water.
