Things which break WUDHU also break TAYAMMUM.
TAYAMMUM for GHUSL breaks only after HADASE AKBAR.
TAYAMMUM done when water is not found breaks when water is found.
Tayammum done due to a disease breaks when one is cured from that disease.
One can perform any number of Namaaz by one TAYAMMUM as long as it does not
break.
TAYAMMUM done for FARZ Namaaz will be valid for NAFL, for reading the HOLY
QURAAN, Janaza Namaaz, Sajdah-E-Tilaawat and for all other kinds of Namaaz.
MASAH ON THE KHUF - FAIN (MOZAH)
KHUF-FAIN are special types of socks. Instead of washing the feet during Wudhu, it is
permissible to pass moist hands over such socks. This is known as MASAH ALAL KHUF-
FAIN.
THE CONDITIONS FOR MASAH
1.
The socks must be strong enough to enable walking in them on roads for approximately
three miles without the socks tearing.
2.
The socks should remain in position (covering the foreleg) without being tied. They should
not slip. Socks which have elastic sewn into them (to keep them in position) will be
regarded as being tied.
3.
Water must not be able to seep through.
4.
The socks must not be transparent or even semitransparent.
If any one of the four conditions is lacking, Masah on such socks will not be permissible.
Khuffain on which Masah is made are generally made to leather. The type of socks
woolen, nylon, etc., generally worn nowadays is not classified as "Khuffain". It is,
therefore, not permissible to make Masah on them. If socks are made of a material other
than leather and
the aforementioned four requirements are met, Masah will be permissible on them.

Far the Masah Alal Khuffain to be valid, it is essential to put on the Khuffain after
complete Wudhu has been made.
If the Khuffain have been put on before a complete Wudhu has been made, Masah on
them will not be permissible. Firstly, a complete Wudhu has to be made, and then only
should the Khuffain be put on. Thereafter if Wudhu breaks, it will be permissible to make
Masah Alal Khuffain without washing the feet when Wudhu is being made.
