[Machine] About the man, his wife is with him on a journey. Then she experiences menstruation and becomes pure but cannot find water. They said, "Perform Tayammum (dry ablution) and pray." I said to them, "Does her husband touch her?" They said, "Yes, prayer is more important than that."  

عَنِ الرَّجُلِ تَكُونُ مَعَهُ امْرَأَتُهُ فِي سَفَرٍ فَتَحِيضُ ثُمَّ تَطْهُرُ وَلَا تَجِدُ الْمَاءَ قَالَا «تَتَيَمَّمُ وَتُصَلِّي» قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُمَا يَطَؤُهَا زَوْجُهَا؟ قَالَا «نَعَمْ الصَّلَاةُ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ»  

[Machine] Regarding the act of perfuming oneself, a woman can still be considered purified even if she cannot find water. It was asked to Abdullah, "Do you say this?" He replied, "Yes, by Allah."  

عَنْ عَطَاءٍ فِي الْمَرْأَةِ تَطْهُرُ وَلَا تَجِدُ الْمَاءَ قَالَ «يُصِيبُهَا زَوْجُهَا إِذَا تَيَمَّمَتْ» سُئِلَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ تَقُولُ بِهَذَا؟ قَالَ «إِي وَاللَّهِ»
