Guidance for the one performing Tamattu' who is unable: fasting or asking her son for money
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I performed Hajj like this. I came for 'Umrah in the month of Shawwal, and after completing the 'Umrah, I waited to perform the 'Umrah of Hajj, so I became obligated to offer a sacrificial animal (hady), because I am performing Tamattu'. I do not have any money, and I came at my son's expense. Should I fast three days and seven when I return to my family, or should I ask my son for money and buy something? Do I have the choice?
Answer:
If you ask your son for money and buy the sacrificial animal with it, that is permissible and there is no harm in it. And if you fast[Al-Baqarah 2:196] until you reach the city, that is also permissible. It is permissible for you to ask your son, and it is permissible to fast. Both options are permissible, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
