Fasting by one who does not find the sacrificial animal during the days of Hajj

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for the one who has not found the sacrificial animal to fast ten days during these days?

Answer:
As Allah the Exalted said, regarding the one who fasts three days during Hajj. Allah the Exalted said:
And whoever cannot find [or afford such an animal] - then a fast of three days during Hajj and of seven when you have returnedفَمَن لَّمْ يَجِدْ فَصِيَامُ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ فِي الْحَجِّ وَسَبْعَةٍ إِذَا رَجَعْتُمْ
[Al-Baqarah 2:196]
So he fasts three days during Hajj, and the rest after he has finished Hajj, either on the way as he is returning to his family, or in his hometown. Yes.
