from his family after its cause has been found, so it sufficed for him, like the fasting of a traveler and a sick person.

Section: Continuous fasting is not mandatory [in the fasting for Mut'ah (enjoyment in Hajj), neither in the three days, nor in the seven days, nor is it required to separate them. Ahmad explicitly stated this because the command came concerning it in an absolute manner], and that does not necessitate either gathering [the days together] or separating them. This is the opinion of al-Thawri, Ishaq, and others, and we do not know of any who oppose it.

The other narration is that he does not fast during the days of Mina, but fasts ten days after that, and he is liable for a sacrifice (Dam)).

Our evidence is that it is an obligatory fast, so it does not lapse with the passing of its time, like the fasting of Ramadan. The verse indicates its obligation [during Hajj], not its lapsing. The analogy is invalidated by the fast of Dhihar (if he has intercourse before it), and Jumu'ah is not a substitute; rather, it is the primary act, and it only lapses because the time is made a condition for it, like the congregational prayer. Once this is established, he fasts the days of
