غيرَ أنّ مسحَ العضو النجس لا يصحّ حتى تُزالَ نجاسته
However, wiping the impure limb is not valid until its impurity is removed.
النَّجِسِ — impure. 'the impure,' an adjective on 'limb,' matching it as definite and in the -i form. It singles out the soiled limb — wiping THAT does not validly count toward the tayammum, as the verb says.
