What is the scope of permission if Tayammum is intended solely for Quran recitation due to being in a state of Janabah (major impurity), remaining in the mosque, or touching the Mushaf?

Chapter on Tayammum

Open in Qurani

Primary text

If the intention for Tayammum is specifically for Quran recitation (while being Junub), remaining in the mosque, or touching the Mushaf, no other act is permitted besides what was specifically intended. This is based on the Prophet's statement, 'Verily, for every man is what he intended,' and because if one does not intend an act, nor an act higher than it, that act is not sanctioned, just as the Fard prayer is not sanctioned without intending it.
