Slaughtering the 'Id sacrifice with the intention of the fidyah in Hajj

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
There is nothing asked about that you say is hady (the sacrificial animal of the pilgrimage) from fifteen years ago, and it was acceptable. So if its age was only in the Haram (the sacred precinct) and Allah did not let it go, can it be utilized, and is his Hajj valid?

The Shaykh:
If he intended it to be the udhiyah (the 'Id sacrifice), then it does not suffice for the fidyah (a ransom payment). Does it not suffice for the fidyah? He must slaughter the fidyah now as qada' (making up a missed act of worship). He slaughters it in Makkah as qada', even if years have passed; it is made up. He slaughters it now as qada', and praise be to Allah, in Makkah, and he eats from it and distributes it as if he had slaughtered it during the days of Tashriq. Yes. Yes, the first tashahhud (the testification recited while sitting in prayer) is dropped for him in this case, because he is following the imam. That is what appears to me. The issue requires reflection, but this is what appears to me now. Yes.
