The questioner : We conclude this session, O honorable Shaykh, with a message sent by a listener, your brother in Allah, Abdullah S.B. He says in this question: I performed Hajj as a mutamatti' and had a small amount of money with me, which I thought was not enough to buy the hady, so I fasted for three days and spent the money I had in a manner that involved a great deal of extravagance and waste. Then, on the eleventh day, it became clear to me that the money I had before spending it was sufficient to buy the hady. I regretted the negligence that occurred on my part, and then I fasted for seven days after returning from Hajj. Does the hady remain a debt on me because of the negligence that occurred on my part, or not? Please clarify this for us. May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : Your debt is cleared by the fasting, because you fasted based on the belief that the money with you was not sufficient. However, since you were extravagant in your spending and spent it in a manner other than its proper use, I see that as a precaution you should slaughter a hady in Makkah to take the place of the hady of tamattu' that was obligatory upon you while you had the ability. Yes.
