Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated regarding the verse: "And do not approach prayer while you are in a state of major impurity except when you are traveling" (An-Nisa: 43): He said: "This means: Do not approach the prayer while you are in a state of janabah (major impurity) unless you have found water. If you do not find water, then it is permissible for you to perform tayammum by striking the earth."
