Question:
This man is asking, Honorable Shaykh, and he says: A person performed Hajj as a companion (qarin) but was unable to pay for the sacrificial animal. Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling? He is poor. Is the sacrificial animal waived for him?
Answer:
No, the sacrificial animal is not waived from him; he must fast,[Al-Baqarah 2:196], fasting ten days, [Al-Baqarah 2:196] in place of the sacrificial animal for the one who cannot afford it. Yes.

Answer:
No, the sacrificial animal is not waived from him; he must fast,
then whoever performs 'umrah [during the Hajj months] followed by Hajj [offers] what can be obtained with ease of sacrificial animals. And whoever cannot find [or afford such an animal] - then a fast of three days during Hajj and of seven when you have returned
فَمَن تَمَتَّعَ بِالْعُمْرَةِ إِلَى الْحَجِّ فَمَا اسْتَيْسَرَ مِنَ الْهَدْيِ فَمَن لَّمْ يَجِدْ فَصِيَامُ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ فِي الْحَجِّ وَسَبْعَةٍ إِذَا رَجَعْتُمْThose are ten complete [days]
تِلْكَ عَشَرَةٌ كَامِلَةٌ
