Then both gender do "the tayammum". i.e prepare for "The salat" without water and observe it.

Thank you so much for your answer.

I'm sorry but it's still not clear where you get the BOTH genders from the ayah...

The ayah says clearlyor you have been in contact with women (spouse). It seems to me that Allah ios addressing men.

He could have said "or you have been in contact with your couple" and make it a general statement. He specified Man touching Woman

Could you please elaborate on it?

thank you for your answer.

Could you please provide some proof of why do you translate Salah in this ayas as something different from the ritual prayer?

Assalamu Alaykum, I've a question about the sura 443.

It appears to me that the sura is divided in 2 parts

the first part is generic and adress men and women

1º part O you who believe! Approach not As-Salat (the prayer) when you are in a drunken state until you know (the meaning) of what you utter, nor when you are in a state of Janaba, (i.e. in a state of sexual impurity and have not yet taken a bath) except when travelling on the road (without enough water, or just passing through a mosque), till you wash your whole body

And the second part adress only men or am i mistaken?

2º part And if you are ill, or on a journey, or one of you comes after answering the call of nature, or you have been in contact with women (by sexual relations) and you find no water, perform Tayammum with clean earth and rub therewith your faces and hands (Tayammum). Truly, Allah is Ever Oft-Pardoning, Oft-Forgiving.

In the second part, it looks like if the order to perform tayammum in case of sexual relationship is directed to men only.

Could you please help me understand it?
