The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Regarding the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Baqarah 2:196]
The Shaykh:
It is the first ten days of Dhu al-Hijjah, which are among the months of Hajj, my brother. It is permissible to fast them. You may fast them before the Day of 'Arafah. The important thing is that you fast them before the Day of 'Arafah. So if the Day of 'Arafah comes and you have not fasted them, you fast them during the days of Tashriq. Yes.
The questioner:
And is it required that the fasting of the three days be in Makkah, or is it sufficient to do it elsewhere?
The Shaykh:
No, it is not required to be in Makkah. It is required to be in the months of Hajj. Three days in Hajj, meaning in the months of Hajj. Yes.
