Chapter on the Fasting Obligations for the Mutamatti' Who Cannot Afford a Sacrificial Animal

1335. hadíth

وَ رُوِيَ عَنِ اِبْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ تَمَتَّعَ فَلَمْ يَجِدْ مَا يُهْدِي فَصَامَ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ فَلَمَّا قَضَى نُسُكَهُ بَدَا لَهُ أَنْ يُقِيمَ سَنَةً قَالَ «فَلْيَنْظُرْ مَنْهَلَ أَهْلِ بَلَدِهِ فَإِذَا ظَنَّ أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ دَخَلُوا بَلَدَهُمْ فَلْيَصُمِ اَلسَّبْعَةَ اَلْأَيَّامِ ».

It is narrated from Ibn Muskan, from Abu Basir, who said: I asked him about a man who performed Tamattu' but could not afford a sacrificial animal, so he fasted three days. After completing his rites, he decided to stay for a year. Imam (a.s) said: "Let him estimate when the people of his hometown are likely to have returned to their homes, and when he assumes they have arrived, he should fast the seven days."
