Chapter: The Obligation of Fasting for One Who Performs al-Hajj al-Tamattu’ but Cannot Find an Offering 4ـ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ ٠َّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ عِيصِ بْنِ الْقَاسِ٠ِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَ٠) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ ٠َتِّعٍ يَدْخُلُ يَوْ٠َ التَّرْوِيَةِ وَلَيْسَ ٠َعَهُ هَدْيٌ قَالَ فَلا يَصُو٠ُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْ٠َ عَرَفَةَ وَيَتَسَحَّرُ لَيْلَةَ الْحَصْبَةِ فَيُصْبِحُ صَائِ٠ُ النَّفْرِ وَيَصُو٠4.

Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan ibn Yahya from ‘Is ibn al-Qasim who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who is for al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous), arrives on the day of al-Tarwiyah (eight of Dhu al-Hajj ah) and he does not have offering animal with him. He (the Imam) said, ‘He must not fast that day or on the day of ‘Arafah.

He can eat food before dawn on the day of al-Hasabah, and in the morning he will be fasting; it is the day to leave, and two more days thereafter.’” صحيح - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (18/196))
