Wahai orang-orang yang beriman! Apabila kamu hendak melaksanakan salat, maka basuhlah wajahmu dan tanganmu sampai ke siku, dan sapulah kepalamu dan (basuh) kedua kakimu sampai ke kedua mata kaki. Jika kamu junub, maka mandilah. Dan jika kamu sakit atau dalam perjalanan atau kembali dari tempat buang air (kakus) atau menyentuh perempuan, maka jika kamu tidak memperoleh air, maka bertayamumlah dengan debu yang baik (suci); usaplah wajahmu dan tanganmu dengan (debu) itu. Allah tidak ingin menyulitkan kamu, tetapi Dia hendak membersihkan kamu dan menyempurnakan nikmat-Nya bagimu, agar kamu bersyukur.

(QS. Al-Ma'idah ayat 6)
