Chapter on the Fasting Obligations for the Mutamatti' Who Cannot Afford a Sacrificial Animal
وَ رَوَى عَبْدُ اَلرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَعْيَنَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «اَلصَّبِيُّ يَصُومُ عَنْهُ وَلِيُّهُ إِذَا لَمْ يَجِدْ هَدْياً ».
Abdul Rahman ibn Ayan narrated from Abu Ja'far عليه السلام, who said: "A guardian should fast on behalf of a child if the child does not have a sacrificial animal."
