from his Umrah, remaining in his state of Ihram, and he was a Qarin (performing Hajj Qiran). Al-Shafi'i said: It is permissible to slaughter it after entering Ihram for Hajj, with one view, and regarding the time before that, after completing his Umrah, there are two possibilities. The rationale for its permissibility is that it is a blood sacrifice connected to the Ihram, for which fasting can be substituted, so it is permissible before the Day of Sacrifice, like the blood sacrifice for the use of perfume or wearing clothes. Furthermore, because it is permissible to replace it before the Day of Sacrifice, it is permissible to discharge it before it, like other expiations.

We are not aware of any disagreement among the scholars that the Mutamatti' (pilgrim performing Tamattu'), if he does not find the Hady, transfers to fasting for three days during the Hajj and seven when he returns, [this is due to the saying of Allah the Almighty: "Whoever performs the Umrah to the Hajj, then what is easy of the Hady. But if he cannot find [it], then a fast of three days during Hajj and seven when you have returned]. Those are ten complete [days]." Ability is considered according to his location; whenever he lacks it in his location, it is permissible for him to transfer to fasting, even if he were capable of it in his own country. This is because its obligation is timed, and whatever has a timed obligation, capability is considered at the time it is due in his location, like water for purification; if he lacks it in his place, he transfers to [using] earth.

Tawus said: He fasts three days,
