The Difference Between Hady, Udhiyah, and Fidyah

Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. Shaykh Salih, if you would be so kind, some of the brothers confuse hady, udhiyah, and fidyah. Would you be so kind as to elaborate on this? It seems appropriate for the occasion, if Allah wills.
Answer:
As for the udhiyah, it is prescribed for all Muslims. As for hady and fidyah, they are specific to the pilgrims. Hady includes what is obligatory and what is recommended. The obligatory hady is the hady of tamattu' and qiran. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Baqarah 2:196]. Likewise, the obligatory hady is for leaving an obligatory act of Hajj or committing a prohibited act, which is called hady al-jibrān. Good, good.
As for what exceeds that, if it is not the hady of tamattu' or the hady of jibrān for leaving an obligatory act or committing a prohibited act, then it is from the recommended hady. It is from the recommended hady, and it is among the best of deeds. Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, testifies:[Al-Hajj 22:28] what He has provided them of the livestock. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) offered one hundred camels as hady, meaning one hundred camels which he slaughtered on the Day of Sacrifice in Mina. There is no doubt that the obligatory amount is one camel, and as for the rest, it is all voluntary hady. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would sometimes send the hady to Makkah to be slaughtered there while he was in Madinah (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.

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]
فَمَن تَمَتَّعَ بِالْعُمْرَةِ إِلَى الْحَجِّ فَمَا اسْتَيْسَرَ مِنَ الْهَدْيِ فَمَن لَّمْ يَجِدْ فَصِيَامُ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ فِي الْحَجِّ وَسَبْعَةٍ إِذَا رَجَعْتُمْ تِلْكَ عَشَرَةٌ كَامِلَةٌAs for what exceeds that, if it is not the hady of tamattu' or the hady of jibrān for leaving an obligatory act or committing a prohibited act, then it is from the recommended hady.

مَنَافِعَ لَهُمْ وَيَذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللَّهِ فِي أَيَّامٍ مَّعْلُومَاتٍ عَلَىٰ
