If fasting three days during Hajj is difficult for him, is it permissible for him to add them to the seven when he returns?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A person who performed Hajj as a mutamatti' and was unable to offer a sacrificial animal, and fasting during Hajj was difficult for him, what should he do?

The Shaykh : You mean fasting was difficult for him, meaning he is unable to fast?

The questioner : Because if he fasts, he gets tired and is unable to perform the rites of Hajj.

The Shaykh : And the seven days?

The questioner : He can manage them.

The Shaykh : He can manage them; he adds them to those.

The questioner : He adds them.

The Shaykh : Because these three days are not, if the expression is correct, more obligatory than the fasting of 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 مريضا أو على سفر فعدّة من أيّام أخر
[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 forehead here is moving, but there is no movement here. What is the reason?

The questioner : There is blessing in movement.
