The Ruling on Fasting the Days of Tashriq

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does the one who is not performing Hajj fast on the thirteenth day, considering it is one of the white days?

Answer:
It is not permissible to fast on the days of Tashreeq, except for a person who does not have the sacrificial animal. A person performing Tamattu' who does not have the sacrificial animal is permitted to fast on the days of Tashreeq. This is based on the statement of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): “It is not permitted to fast on the days of Tashreeq except for the blood of Tamattu' and Qiran.” It is also based on the fact that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The days of Tashriq are the days of eating and drinking.أيام التشريق أيام أكل وشرب
Sahih Muslim 1141a
and it is a remembrance of Allah. So these are days of festival, and fasting on the day of festival is forbidden. It is permissible for a person to fast on the day of festival, and the days of Tashreeq are days of festival. However, a concession was made for the one who does not find the sacrificial animal to fast.
a fast of three days during Hajj and of seven when you have returnedثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ فِي الْحَجِّ وَسَبْعَةٍ إِذَا رَجَعْتُمْ
[Al-Baqarah 2:196]
to his family. So if he did not fast the three days before the days of Tashreeq, he fasts on the days of Tashreeq: the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth. This is a concession specifically for him. Yes.
