The Obligation of Fasting for One Who Performs al-Hajj al-Tamattu’ but Cannot Find an Offering

13. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘ Umayr from Hammad from al-Halabiy who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, about a man for al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous) who did not have an animal for offering. Therefore, he fasted for three days in al-Hajj : then he died after returning to his family and before fasting the seven days: if it was obligatory on his guardian to fast on his behalf. He (the Imam) said, ‘I do not see any Qada’ (compensatory fast) obligatory on him.’”
