Question: If I, when making intention for tayammum, intend to do only tayammum, can I perform salat with it? For Muslims, it is required to purify the body through washing before praying and performing salah, or handling and reading the Qur’an. Therefore, tayammum cannot be done on a tree, grass, wood, iron, brass, a wall painted with oil-based paint, copper, gold, or glass. The whole earth has been made for us a Masjid (place of worship), and its soil has been made for us a purifier in case we cannot find water.

In this case, the helping person does not need to make intention; instead, the one being helped in performing Tayammum will have to make his intention. An apostate's making niyyah for tayammum is invalid (as niyyah is an obligatory element of tayammum).
