[Machine] The Bedouins came to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and said, "We are often in the desert and we are unable to find water for two or three months. And among us there are those who are in a state of major impurity (janabah) or menstruation. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Use dirt instead, O Abdullah ibn Salamah al-Afthas, as you are weak." And Allah knows best.
