The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If one passes the miqat without entering ihram, he owes a fidyah. Is the fidyah a matter of choice, or is it necessary to slaughter only a sheep?
The Shaykh:
Slaughtering only a sheep; there is no relaxation in this. He slaughters a sheep, and if he cannot find one, he fasts for ten days.
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The questioner:
Some women say that one performs it.
The Shaykh:
Or he takes one-seventh of a camel or one-seventh of a cow; the seventh serves in place of the sheep. Yes.
