The questioner : In the name of Allah.
His EminenceThe Shaykh : A pilgrim whose funds were lost: is he required to borrow, for example, if he was in a group with his companions, so that...?
The Shaykh : His funds were lost, and he borrows for what?
The questioner : So that...
The Shaykh : For the fidyah?
The questioner : For the fidyah, yes.
The Shaykh : For the hady, if the pilgrim's funds are lost, he is not required to borrow for the fidyah, but he must fast three days during Hajj and seven days when he returns.
The questioner : If his funds are lost?
The Shaykh : I say: if his funds are lost and he owes a hady for tamattu' or qiran, he is not required to borrow, but he must fast three days during Hajj and seven days when he returns. However, if his funds are lost and he needs specific expenses such as food and drink and the like, he must borrow if he has nothing, except for one who knows his situation and gives him from zakat or voluntary charity, in which case that is good.
The questioner : Under which type of Hajj does he fast?
The Shaykh : No, only the one performing tamattu' or qiran fasts.
