The ransom for one who performed Hajj on behalf of his mother, and the delay of the slaughter or fasting
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
I reside in Makkah, and I have performed Hajj several times. This Hajj is being performed on behalf of my mother, who passed away last year. Do I have to pay a fidyah (ransom payment) or not? Hasan Kamal.
The Shaykh:
You are from the people of Makkah and a resident of Makkah, so there is no need for you. Even if you had entered the state of ihram for both Hajj and 'Umrah from the miqat, if you entered ihram for Hajj only, there is no issue for you or anyone else. If you entered ihram for a gifted Hajj, there is no issue for you or anyone else, even if you are among the people of Makkah.
The questioner:
I neglected my family, and I do not have the price of the fidyah. I am from the people of Jeddah. Is it permissible for me to delay the slaughter until I return to Jeddah, and the fidyah might be delayed by about a month, or is it obligatory for me to fast?
The Shaykh:
You have a choice: either fast for three days, or you must slaughter the animal, even if it is after the days have passed, just like making up a debt or making up a missed prayer. If you slaughter, it should be for yourself, not in Jeddah, even if it is after the days of Hajj. If you fast for ten days due to your inability, that suffices you. If you are able to fast, fast tomorrow or the day after, or on the nineteenth day. If you are able to fast, fast for three days, or for seven days, and then if it is after, the seven days are dropped.
