The questioner : He says:The questioner : When does the one performing tamattu' fast the three days if he is unable to offer the blood (sacrifice)?

The Shaykh : The one performing tamattu' fasts the three days if he is unable to offer the blood, from his entering the state of ihram for 'Umrah until the last of the days of Tashriq, based on the saying of Allah the Exalted:

And whoever cannot find [or afford such an animal] - then a fast of three days during Hajj and of seven when you have returned

فمن لم يجد فصيام ثلاثة أيام في الحج وسبعة إذا رجعتم

[Al-Baqarah 2:196]

. And 'Umrah is part of Hajj, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):

Umrah has been entered into Hajj

دخلت العمرة في الحج

Jami` at-Tirmidhi 932Sahih (Darussalam)

. And his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):

'Umrah is a lesser Hajj

العمرة حج أصغر

or he said:

the lesser Hajj

الحج الأصغر

. The last of the fasting is the three days after the festival, based on the saying of Ibn 'Umar and 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with them both):

Nobody was allowed to fast on the days of Tashriq except those who could not afford the Hadi (Sacrifice).

لم يرخص في أيام التشريق أن يصمن إلا لمن لم يجد الهدي

Sahih al-Bukhari 1997, 1998

. As for the remaining seven days, he fasts them when he returns to his family.
