The Obligation of Fasting for One Who Performs al-Hajj al-Tamattu’ but Cannot Find an Offering
9ـ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا (عَلَيْهِما السَّلاَم) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ تَمَتَّعَ فَلَمْ يَجِدْ مَا يُهْدِي بِهِ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ النَّفْرِ وَجَدَ ثَمَنَ شَاةٍ أَ يَذْبَحُ أَوْ يَصُومُ قَالَ بَلْ يَصُومُ فَإِنَّ أَيَّامَ الذَّبْحِ قَدْ مَضَتْ.
9. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from ibn abu Nasr from ‘Abd al-Karim from abu Basir who has said the following: “I once asked one of the two Imam, (abu Ja’far or abu ‘Abd Allah), ‘Alayhim al-Salam, about a man for al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous) who cannot find an offering animal until the day for departure when he finds enough funds to buy a sheep, should he slaughter or fast? He (the Imam) said, ‘He must fast; the days for slaughtering have passed.’”
