No water to perform wudhoo, nor sand to do tayammum

Reference: Sharh ‘Umdatil-Fiqh – Tape No.6 q25

Question: Sometimes I cannot find any water [to perform wudhoo with], nor sand [or soil to do tayammum with], so what should I do when I want to pray?

Response: You should pray as you are, even if it is without wudhoo or tayammum; [it is important that] you do not leave the prayer, as Allaah تعالى says:

{So fear Allaah as much as you are able} at-Taghaabun 64:16
