Question : What does the one prevented from completing Hajj do?
Answer : It is obligatory for him to slaughter a sacrificial animal, based on the saying of Allah the Exalted: "If you are prevented..."[Al-Baqarah 2:196] What if he does not find one?
The Shaykh: Suppose a person is prevented from completing his Hajj; is anything required of him? The jurists (may Allah have mercy on them) said that it is obligatory for him to fast for ten days if he cannot find the sacrificial animal, by analogy with the blood of Tamattu', because Allah says:[Al-Baqarah 2:196] ... from the opposite side in the days of Hajj and deceive you when you return. I hope from him except then they said: If the one who is prevented does not find a sacrificial animal, he fasts for ten days and then exits the state of Ihram. However, this opinion is extremely weak, because it is an analogy that has no standing. This is because Allah says regarding the blood of Tamattu': [Al-Baqarah 2:196], and this man is prevented; how can he be in Hajj? Is that not so? Secondly, because Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, did not mention anything in the case of being prevented other than the sacrificial animal. If there had been another rank, He would have mentioned it. And you, O jurists, say that if a person kills someone by mistake, it is obligatory for him to free a slave, if [An-Nisa 4:92], and if he cannot, then feeding, whereas Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, mentioned in the verse of Zihar that if one cannot, he feeds sixty... Why did you not analogize the expiation for killing to the expiation for Zihar? They did not analogize the expiation for killing to the expiation for Zihar, even though it is the same chapter; this is a ruling and this is a ruling. Not analogizing the expiation for killing to the expiation for Zihar is the truth, because Allah says: [An-Nahl 16:89]. If there had been a third rank in the expiation for killing, Allah would have clarified it. Similarly, we say that the one who is prevented cannot be analogized to the one who performs Tamattu', because if there had been another rank, Allah, Mighty and Majestic, would have clarified it. Therefore, the correct view is that the one who is prevented, if he does not have a sacrificial animal, exits the state of Ihram without anything.
Answer : It is obligatory for him to slaughter a sacrificial animal, based on the saying of Allah the Exalted: "If you are prevented..."
if you are prevented, then [offer] what can be obtained with ease of sacrificial animals
أُحْصِرْتُمْ فَمَا اسْتَيْسَرَ مِنَ الْهَدْيِThe Shaykh: Suppose a person is prevented from completing his Hajj; is anything required of him? The jurists (may Allah have mercy on them) said that it is obligatory for him to fast for ten days if he cannot find the sacrificial animal, by analogy with the blood of Tamattu', because Allah says:
then whoever performs 'umrah [during the Hajj months] followed by Hajj [offers] what can be obtained with ease of sacrificial animals. And whoever cannot find [or afford such an animal] - then a fast
فَمَن تَمَتَّعَ بِالْعُمْرَةِ إِلَى الْحَجِّ فَمَا اسْتَيْسَرَ مِنَ الْهَدْيِ فَمَن لَّمْ يَجِدْ فَصِيَامُa fast of three days during Hajj
فَصِيَامُ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ فِي الْحَجِّdoes not find [one or cannot afford to buy one] - then [instead], a fast for two months consecutively
لَّمْ يَجِدْ فَصِيَامُ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِAnd We have sent down to you the Book as clarification for all things
وَنَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ تِبْيَانًا لِّكُلِّ شَيْءٍ
