The ruling on fasting the three days of Hajj and performing the expiation in advance

The questioner:
From.

The Shaykh:
No, it is not obligatory for him to be in the state of ihram. If he fasts them between Hajj and 'Umrah, or in Ramadan after he has exited the state of ihram, there is no harm. Yes.

The questioner:
And it is permissible for us to find.

The Shaykh:
That he fasts them while in the state of ihram and while not in the state of ihram from 'Umrah? Yes.

The questioner:
And it is permissible for him that one of his ihrams is for tamattu', so fasting is permissible after it, even if the obligation is to perform the zakah after reaching the nisab and before the lunar year, and the expiation after the oath and before breaking it. As for His saying, the Exalted, , some of the scholars said its meaning is in the months of Hajj.

The Shaykh:
His saying, the Exalted, . And these known months are the month of Shawwal and the month of Dhu al-Hijjah, the month of Shawwal and Dhu al-Qa'dah and ten days of Dhu al-Hijjah. These are the months of Hajj: the month of Shawwal, the month of Dhu al-Qa'dah, and ten days of Dhu al-Hijjah. It is obligatory for them, meaning he enters the state of ihram in these months of Hajj. This means that they are the time for entering the state of ihram for Hajj. Yes.

The questioner:
As for His saying, the Exalted, , some of the scholars said its meaning is in the months of Hajj. The narration of Ahmad indicates this by the evidence of the one who did not enter the state of ihram except on the Day of Tarwiyah. As for performing it before the time of obligation, it is permissible after the cause, like performing the expiation before breaking the oath.

The Shaykh:
Yes, expiation. The cause of the obligation is the ihram, so fasting is permissible after entering the state of ihram for 'Umrah with the intention of tamattu' with it for Hajj, because this is the cause. It is like if a person swears not to do something and intends to do it, he performs the expiation before breaking the oath. And if he delays it until after breaking the oath, it is permissible. He has the choice between expiating and then doing it, or doing it and then expiating, by the evidence of his saying, (peace and blessings be upon him),
