Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Shaykh, a man performed Hajj last year as a mutamatti' along with his three young children, but he was unable to slaughter the sacrificial animal for them due to financial hardship. Is it obligatory for him to fast on their behalf, or is nothing required of him regarding the children?
Answer:
It is obligatory for him to fast on their behalf, if they are unable to fast. If he is unable to pay the fidyah (ransom payment) on their behalf, it is obligatory for him to fast on their behalf, ten days for each one, as the fidyah for tamattu'. Yes.
