If fasting three days during Hajj is difficult for him, may he add them to the seven when he returns?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If he performed Hajj as a mutamatti' and was unable to offer a sacrifice, and fasting during Hajj was difficult for him, what should he do?
The Shaykh : You mean that fasting was difficult for him, meaning he is unable to fast?
The questioner : Because if he fasts, he becomes exhausted and is unable to perform the rites of Hajj.
The Shaykh : And the seven days?
The questioner : He can.
The Shaykh : He can, he adds them to those.
The questioner : He adds them.
The Shaykh : Because these three days are not, if I may use the expression, more obligatory than fasting in Ramadan, and it is known[Al-Baqarah 2:184]. So if your question is precise and this person is indeed a mutamatti' who is unable to fast three days during Hajj, then he adds them to the seven, so he fasts ten days when he returns to his family.
The questioner : O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : I see the front part here is moving, but this side has no movement. What is the reason?
The questioner : With movement comes blessing.
The Shaykh : You mean that fasting was difficult for him, meaning he is unable to fast?
The questioner : Because if he fasts, he becomes exhausted and is unable to perform the rites of Hajj.
The Shaykh : And the seven days?
The questioner : He can.
The Shaykh : He can, he adds them to those.
The questioner : He adds them.
The Shaykh : Because these three days are not, if I may use the expression, more obligatory than fasting in Ramadan, and it is known
So whoever among you is ill or on a journey [during them] - then an equal number of days [are to be made up]
فمن كان منكم مريضًا أو على سفر فعدة من أيام أخرThe questioner : O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : I see the front part here is moving, but this side has no movement. What is the reason?
The questioner : With movement comes blessing.
