What to say when performing tayammum
Context
IT IS MUSTAḤABB to say In the name of Allah when beginning [tayammum], even if one be in a state of ritual impurity or during menstruation, as we have mentioned in regard to making ghusl. As for the declaration of faith after it, and the rest of the adhkār of wuḍū’ and the da‘awāt of washing the face and hands which we have mentioned previously with respect to wuḍū’, we have not heard anything different from the opinions of our [Shāfi‘ī] colleagues or anyone else. It is obvious that the same ruling applies as in wuḍū’, because tayammum, like wuḍū’, is purification.
