Q: I am a shafee student.  In America i am told that as long as my intention is good Allah would accept whatever I do. My Imaam in  XXXXXXXXX (country name omitted) gave us the minimum amount of water we needed for whudu. Can you please  help me. I travel a lot. I drive taxi to pay for my school. I want to know what is the minimum amount of water I need for wudhu when i travel? Can i do tayamom?

A: The least amount of water needed for you would be .51 liters of water. (source: shafee fiqh)

Tayamum would not apply in the presence of water.

Allah Certainly knows Best.

.51 L = 0.134727 gal(US Liq)
OR 0 gal(US Liq) and 1.07 pt (US Liq)
