Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: If one is unable to slaughter the sacrificial animal while performing tamattu', is it permissible for him to fast before the month of Dhul-Hijjah?
Answer:
Yes, he fasts. If he enters the state of ihram for 'Umrah, he begins fasting when he enters the state of ihram for 'Umrah. There is nothing wrong with fasting until the day of the festival, the entire day of the festival; the whole day is a time for him to fast. If he does not fast before the day of the festival, he fasts the three days of Tashriq: the eleventh, the twelfth, and the thirteenth. Yes, three days during Hajj. Yes.
