Chapter on the Fasting Obligations for the mutamatti' Who Cannot Afford a Sacrificial Animal

رُوِيَ عَنِ الْأَئِمَّةِ ع‌ أَنَّ الْمُتَمَتِّعَ إِذَا وَجَدَ الْهَدْيَ وَ لَمْ يَجِدِ الثَّمَنَ صَامَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ فِي الْحَجِّ يَوْماً قَبْلَ التَّرْوِيَةِ وَ يَوْمَ التَّرْوِيَةِ وَ يَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ وَ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ إِذَا رَجَعَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ‌ تِلْكَ عَشَرَةٌ كامِلَةٌ لِجَزَاءِ الْهَدْيِ فَإِنْ فَاتَهُ صَوْمُ هَذِهِ الثَّلَاثَةِ الْأَيَّامِ تَسَحَّرَ لَيْلَةَ الْحَصْبَةِ[3] وَ هِيَ لَيْلَةُ النَّفْرِ وَ

It is narrated from the Imams (as): "If the Mutamatti' (pilgrim performing Hajj Tamattu') finds the sacrificial animal but cannot afford its price, he must fast for three days during Hajj—one day before the Day of Tarwiyah, the Day of Tarwiyah itself, and the Day of Arafah—and seven days when he returns to his family,

وَ رَوَى صَفْوَانُ‌[3] عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ‌ مَنْ مَاتَ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ هَدْيٌ لِمُتْعَتِهِ فَلْيَصُمْ عَنْهُ وَلِيُّهُ.

"If a person dies and does not have a hady (sacrificial animal) for his Tamattu', his guardian should fast on his behalf."

فَلْيَنْظُرْ مَنْهَلَ أَهْلِ بَلَدِهِ‌[1] فَإِذَا ظَنَّ أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ دَخَلُوا بَلَدَهُمْ فَلْيَصُمِ السَّبْعَةَ الْأَيَّامِ‌[2].

I asked him about a man who performed Tamattu' but could not afford a sacrificial animal, so he fasted three days. After completing his rites, he decided to stay for a year. Imam (as) said: "Let him estimate when the people of his hometown are likely to have returned to their homes, and when he assumes they have arrive

«أَنَّهُ إِنْ كَانَ لَهُ مُقَامٌ بِمَكَّةَ فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَصُومَ اَلسَّبْعَةَ تَرَكَ اَلصِّيَامَ بِقَدْرِ سَيْرِهِ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ أَوْ شَهْراً ثُمَّ صَامَ ».

Hadith.3099 - In a narration from Muawiyah ibn Ammar, from Abu Abdullah (as): "If a person resides in Mecca and wishes to fast the seven days, he should delay the fast for a period equivalent to the time it would take to travel to his family or for a month, and then begin fasting."

وَ قَدْ رَوَى زُرَارَةُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ‌ مَنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ ثَمَنَ‌ الْهَدْيِ فَأَحَبَّ أَنْ يَصُومَ الثَّلَاثَةَ الْأَيَّامِ فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ فَلَا بَأْسَ بِذَلِكَ‌[1].

يَصُومُ يَوْماً آخَرَ بَعْدَ أَيَّامِ التَّشْرِيقِ بِيَوْمٍ‌[3] قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ مُتَمَتِّعٍ كَانَ مَعَهُ ثَمَنُ هَدْيٍ وَ هُوَ يَجِدُ بِمِثْلِ الَّذِي مَعَهُ هَدْياً فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَتَوَانَى وَ يُؤَخِّرُ ذَلِكَ‌[4] حَتَّى كَانَ آخِرُ أَيَّامِ التَّشْرِيقِ وَ غَلَتِ الْغَنَمُ فَلَمْ يَقْدِرْ أَنْ يَشْتَرِيَ بِالَّذِي مَعَهُ هَدْياً قَالَ يَصُومُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ بَعْدَ أَيَّامِ التَّشْرِيقِ‌[5].

Hadith.3101 - Yahya al-Azraq asked Abu Ibrahim (as) about a man who entered into Ihram for Tamattu' on the Day of Tarwiyah and did not have a sacrificial animal, so he fasted on the Day of Tarwiyah and the Day of Arafah. Imam (as) said: "He should fast one more day after the Days of Tashriq." He also asked him about a

وَ رَوَى عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَعْيَنَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ‌ الصَّبِيُّ يَصُومُ عَنْهُ وَلِيُّهُ إِذَا لَمْ يَجِدْ هَدْياً[6].

"A guardian should fast on behalf of a child if the child does not have a sacrificial animal."

يَبْعَثُ بِدَمٍ‌[1].

Hadith.3103 - It is narrated from Imran al-Halabi that Abu Abdullah (as) was asked about a man who forgot to fast the three days required of the Mutamatti' if he could not find a sacrificial animal, until he returned to his family. Imam (as) said: "He should send a sacrificial animal (as compensation)."
