A Mutamatti' Pilgrim lost his Money and his Wife was with him
Question :
I assumed Ihram which requires the sacrifice of an animal along with it, but my money came up missing and I lost all of my wealth that was with me. So, what is my ruling in this situation, while knowing that my wife was also accompanying me?
Answer:
If the person assumed Ihram for 'Umrah during the days of Hajj as a Mutamatti' pilgrim, combining the 'Umrah with Hajj, or he assumed Ihram for Hajj and Umrah together at the same time as a Qarin pilgrim, he must slaughter an animal. The animal is a sheep, which is either a two-year-old goat or a year- old sheep, or a seventh of a camel or a seventh of a cow. The animal is to be slaughtered during the days of the Sacrifice and then the person gives the meat to the poor and needy. He eats from it and he gives some of it away in charity. This is what is obligatory upon him. If he is unable to do that due to loss of his spending money or his poverty or his difficult circumstances or the small amount of spending money that he has, then he fasts 3 days during the Hajj and 7 days when he returns to his homeland. This is as Allâh commanded. It is permissible for him to fast the 3 days on the 11th, 12th and 13th. This is an exception to the prohibition of fasting these days, except for the person who has lost his sacrificial animal, for verily he fasts these 3 days. If the person performs this fasts before the day of 'Arafah, that is better if the money was lost prior to that, and he fasts the 7 days in his homeland. And Allâh knows best.
