Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: A man appointed another man to perform Hajj on his behalf and gave him a sum of money, but the appointed person was unable to slaughter the sacrificial animal for Tamattu' because the money was not sufficient. So the question is: on whom does the obligation of fasting for ten days fall, on the appointer or on the appointed person?
Answer:
It falls on the representative. The fasting is on the representative, just as he performs the rites. Fasting is one of the rites. It is his obligation. Yes.
