The place of slaughtering the fidyah and the ruling for one who cannot afford its cost

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Abu Rakan sent a set of questions to this program. He says: Honorable Shaykh, is there a difference in slaughtering the fidyah in Makkah or in the town where I live, because I may not have money to slaughter it in Makkah? Please clarify this for us, may Allah reward you.

The Shaykh:
The sacrificial animal for the fidyah is not to be slaughtered except in the Haram, inside the Haram, based on the saying of Allah the Exalted:
as an offering [to Allah] delivered to the Ka'bahهَدْيًا بَالِغَ الْكَعْبَةِ
[Al-Ma'idah 5:95]
, and it is not permissible to slaughter it outside the Haram, nor is it sufficient. If it is slaughtered outside the Haram, it is not sufficient, whether it is obligatory or voluntary.

The questioner:
He says: Shaykh, I performed the obligatory Hajj.

The Shaykh:
If you do not have money and you are in the Haram, do you not have money? Then you fast, you fast for ten days, as Allah the Mighty and Majestic said:
And whoever cannot find [or afford such an animal] - then a fast of three days during Hajj and of seven when you have returned [home]. Those are ten complete [days].فَمَن لَّمْ يَجِدْ فَصِيَامُ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ فِي الْحَجِّ وَسَبْعَةٍ إِذَا رَجَعْتُمْ تِلْكَ عَشَرَةٌ كَامِلَةٌ
[Al-Baqarah 2:196]
. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
