What is the ruling on one who is lax in fasting the three days and delays them beyond the days of Tashriq?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If a person leaves the three days off out of laziness?
The Shaykh : What is it?
The questioner : If a person leaves the three days.
The Shaykh : The school of thought is strict on this, saying that even if he leaves them for an excuse, he must fast them and he must offer a sacrifice. If he has no blood [sacrifice] and no money, even then...
The questioner : The question is, is he required to remain in Makkah?
The questioner : He makes up the fasts.
The Shaykh : He makes up the fasts and he must offer a sacrifice, even for an excuse. For example, if he delayed them until the days of Tashriq and was ill, according to the school of thought, he makes up the fasts and offers a sacrifice.
The questioner : Is that correct, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh: No, that is not correct. The correct view is that if he is unable, it is not dropped from him like Ramadan. If Allah forgives him, he fasts.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : He feeds one poor person for every day.
The questioner : How is it that he offers a sacrifice...
The Shaykh : It says he fasts three days for the fast in Tamattu', and then he offers a sacrifice for delaying them beyond their time.
The questioner : If he cannot afford the sacrifice, does he fast?
The Shaykh : They did not say anything. If he cannot afford the sacrifice, he remains until Allah provides him with a sacrifice. In any case, this is a weak opinion, and the weak opinion is always not consistent. So if it is not consistent, praise be to Allah.
The questioner : We said in the grammar... this is the principle, we have always established...
The Shaykh : We have established it, may Allah will it, there is no third opinion after this.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : No, it does not contradict. I prefer this, because the jurisprudence of a thing in its time has a strong fruit.
