Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The one who does not slaughter the sacrificial animal for tamattu' must fast for ten days: three during Hajj and seven when he returns.
Answer:
The one who was unable to slaughter did not slaughter; the one who was unable to find [the sacrificial animal]—Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:[Al-Baqarah 2:196] when you return, seven [Al-Baqarah 2:196]. So if he does not find the hady, he fasts three days during Hajj, and it is better that he fasts them before the Day of 'Arafah. If he does not fast them except on the days of Tashriq, that is permissible.

فَمَن لَّمْ يَجِدْ فَصِيَامُ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ فِي الْحَجِّ وَسَبْعَةٍwhen you have returned [home]. Those are ten complete [days]
إِذَا رَجَعْتُمْ تِلْكَ عَشَرَةٌ كَامِلَةٌ
