Chapter on the Fasting Obligations for the Mutamatti' Who Cannot Afford a Sacrificial Animal
وَ سَأَلَ يَحْيَى اَلْأَزْرَقُ أَبَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنْ رَجُلٍ دَخَلَ يَوْمَ اَلتَّرْوِيَةِ مُتَمَتِّعاً وَ لَيْسَ لَهُ هَدْيٌ فَصَامَ يَوْمَ اَلتَّرْوِيَةِ وَ يَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ فَقَالَ «يَصُومُ يَوْماً آخَرَ بَعْدَ أَيَّامِ اَلتَّشْرِيقِ بِيَوْمٍ » قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ مُتَمَتِّعٍ كَانَ مَعَهُ ثَمَنُ هَدْيٍ وَ هُوَ يَجِدُ بِمِثْلِ اَلَّذِي مَعَهُ هَدْياً فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَتَوَانَى وَ يُؤَخِّرُ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى كَانَ آخِرُ أَيَّامِ اَلتَّشْرِيقِ وَ غَلَتِ اَلْغَنَمُ فَلَمْ يَقْدِرْ أَنْ يَشْتَرِيَ بِالَّذِي مَعَهُ هَدْياً قَالَ «يَصُومُ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ بَعْدَ أَيَّامِ اَلتَّشْرِيقِ ».
Yahya al-Azraq asked Abu Ibrahim عليه السلام about a man who entered into Ihram for Tamattu' on the Day of Tarwiyah and did not have a sacrificial animal, so he fasted on the Day of Tarwiyah and the Day of Arafah. Imam عليه السلام said: "He should fast one more day after the Days of Tashriq." He also asked him about a Mutamatti' who had the means to buy a sacrificial animal and found one available at the price he could afford but kept delaying until the last day of Tashriq, at which point the price of sheep increased, and he could no longer buy one with what he had. Imam عليه السلام said: "He should fast three days after the Days of Tashriq."
