The ruling on delaying the ten days of fasting to the pilgrim's country

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, if a pilgrim who owes the expiation of fasting ten days delays them until he returns to his country, is that permissible?

Answer:
This is not permissible, because Allah says:
a fast of three days during Hajjفَصِيَامُ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ فِي الْحَجِّ
[Al-Baqarah 2:196]
. The seven days are until he returns. He should not intentionally delay the fasting until he reaches his country. If he does so, he has sinned, and it is obligatory for him to fast the ten days, along with the sin, repentance, and seeking forgiveness, because he did not carry out what Allah commanded him to do. Yes.
