The Place for Performing the Fidyah and Fasting
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. A pilgrim, O Shaykh, made some mistakes in performing the rites, and he did not have with him what he could use to make expiation, so he traveled to his country. Is it permissible for him to fulfill what is required of him in his country, or is he required to be in Makkah?
Answer:
Feeding people and slaughtering the animal are to be done in Makkah. As for fasting, if he is unable to slaughter the fidyah or feed people, he fasts in his country; because fasting does not have a specific place, unlike the fidyah or feeding, which must be in the Haram. Yes.
