Chapter on the Fasting Obligations for the Mutamatti' Who Cannot Afford a Sacrificial Animal
وَ قَدْ رَوَى زُرَارَةُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «مَنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ ثَمَنَ اَلْهَدْيِ فَأَحَبَّ أَنْ يَصُومَ اَلثَّلاَثَةَ اَلْأَيَّامِ فِي اَلْعَشْرِ اَلْأَوَاخِرِ فَلاَ بَأْسَ بِذَلِكَ ».
Zurara narrated from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام that he said: "If someone cannot afford the price of a sacrificial animal and wishes to fast the three days during the last ten days (of Dhul-Hijjah), there is no harm in that."
