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 have performed Hajj several times. This Hajj was dedicated to my mother, who passed away last year. Do I have to pay a ransom or not? Hasan Kamal.
The Shaykh:
Yes. If you performed only Hajj, then there is no obligation on you or anyone else. And if you are not with your people
The questioner:
and my people are not with me, and I do not have the price of the ransom, and I am from the people of Jeddah, is it permissible for me to delay the slaughter until I return to Jeddah, and the ransom might be delayed by about a month, or is it obligatory for me to fast?
The Shaykh:
You have a choice if you have completed the days. You must slaughter, even if it is after the days have passed, like paying off a debt, and like making up a missed prayer. If you slaughter, it should be in its flesh, not in its skin, even if it is after days. And if you fast the ten days due to inability, and if you are able to fast, you fast tomorrow and the day after tomorrow and the nineteenth day, and you were unable. If you are able to fast, you fast three or seven, then if you slaughter, the seven become heavy.
