Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh Salih (may Allah preserve him), I will perform Hajj next year, if Allah wills. Which of the types of Hajj should I adopt? I am poor, and they say I should adopt tamattu', but I say I do not possess the sacrificial animal. May Allah protect you?
Answer:
If he adopts tamattu', the sacrificial animal becomes obligatory for him. However, Allah has made things easy. If he is unable to purchase the sacrificial animal, he must fast for ten days: three days during Hajj and seven days when he returns, as Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Baqarah 2:196]. Yes.

Answer:
If he adopts tamattu', the sacrificial animal becomes obligatory for him. However, Allah has made things easy. If he is unable to purchase the sacrificial animal, he must fast for ten days: three days during Hajj and seven days when he returns, as Allah the Exalted said:
then whoever performs 'umrah [during the Hajj months] followed by Hajj [offers] what can be obtained with ease of sacrificial animals. And whoever cannot find [or afford such an animal] - then a fast of three days during Hajj and of seven when you have returned [home]. Those are ten complete [days]. This is for those whose family is not in the area of al-Masjid al-Haram.
فَمَن تَمَتَّعَ بِالْعُمْرَةِ إِلَى الْحَجِّ فَمَا اسْتَيْسَرَ مِنَ الْهَدْيِ فَمَن لَّمْ يَجِدْ فَصِيَامُ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ فِي الْحَجِّ وَسَبْعَةٍ إِذَا رَجَعْتُمْ تِلْكَ عَشَرَةٌ كَامِلَةٌ ذَٰلِكَ لِمَن لَّمْ يَكُنْ أَهْلُهُ حَاضِرِي الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ
