Chapter on the Fasting Obligations for the Mutamatti' Who Cannot Afford a Sacrificial Animal
وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ عِمْرَانَ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ نَسِيَ أَنْ يَصُومَ اَلثَّلاَثَةَ اَلْأَيَّامِ اَلَّتِي عَلَى اَلْمُتَمَتِّعِ إِذَا لَمْ يَجِدِ اَلْهَدْيَ حَتَّى يَقْدَمَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ قَالَ «يَبْعَثُ بِدَمٍ ».
It is narrated from Imran al-Halabi that Abu Abdullah عليه السلام was asked about a man who forgot to fast the three days required of the Mutamatti' if he could not find a sacrificial animal, until he returned to his family. Imam عليه السلام said: "He should send a sacrificial animal (as compensation)."
