If the pilgrim delays fasting due to an excuse, is anything required of him?

The questioner : Yes, and it is not obligatory to fast consecutively in any of the fasting for tamattu', because the command for it is absolute, so consecutiveness is not obligatory, just as consecutiveness is not obligatory in making up the fasts of Ramadan. If he does not fast the three days before the Day of Sacrifice, he fasts the days of Mina in one of the two narrations, based on the statement of Ibn 'Umar and 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with them) that no dispensation was granted for fasting the days of Tashriq except for the one performing tamattu' who does not find the sacrificial animal. The second narration is that he does not fast them, due to the prohibition of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) against fasting the days of Tashriq, and he fasts ten days after that. Is a sacrificial animal required of him for delaying it? There are two narrations: one is that it is required of him because he delayed an obligatory act of the rites from its time, so a sacrificial animal is required of him, like delaying [the sacrifice]. The second is that a sacrificial animal is not required of him, because it is an obligatory fast that must be made up if missed, so an expiation is not required of him for missing it, like the fast of Ramadan. The Qadi said: If he delays it without an excuse due to his negligence, it is required of him; and if he delays it for an excuse, it is not required of him. And if he delays the sacrificial animal

The Shaykh : How many opinions are there? Three: that a sacrificial animal is required of him absolutely; the second is that it is not required of him absolutely; and the third is the distinction: if he delayed it for an excuse, nothing is required of him, otherwise it is required of him. But someone might say: The man only fasted because he did not find the sacrificial animal, so how do you require a sacrificial animal from him? The answer is that it remains in his liability, or it is said, as will come later, that whoever does not find the obligatory sacrificial animal because he left an obligatory act, he must fast ten days. So according to this opinion, in this estimation, how much is required of him? He must fast twenty days. Yes. The correct view is that if he delays it for an excuse, nothing is required of him, just as if he delayed Ramadan from its time. And if he delays it without an excuse, he is sinful and disobedient.
