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

6. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from Hariz who has said the following: “This is about the case of a man for al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous) who is able to pay but cannot find offering animal. Abu ‘ Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said, ‘He must leave the cost of the offering animal with someone in Makkah. He must instruct him to buy an offering animal and slaughter it for him. This is sufficient. If it did not happen in Dhu al-Hajjah, he can delay it until next Dhu al-Hajjah in future.’”
