Praying a number of prayers with the same Tayammum

Question:Is it allowed to pray a number of obligatory prayers with the same tayammum as is done after making wudhoo with water or is tayammum to be done for every prayer?

Answer:Allaah The Most High has made tayammum as an alternative for wudhoo, so whatever is permissible for the one who has wudhoo to perform, then likewise is the case for the one who has made tayammum. There is a weak hadeeth as appears in Buloogh al Maraam, that one cannot pray with a tayammum except one prayer, but this hadeeth is weak, and so it is permissible for one to pray a number of prayers.
