A Hajj Pilgrim lost his Money and he is not able to fast, so what must he do?

Question :

I went this year to perform the obligation of Hajj with the intention of performing Hajj and Umrah together as a Qarin pilgrim. After performing all of the rites of Hajj and 'Umrah up until the day of the Sacrifice, I was stricken with the loss of a sum of money there. I do not know whether it was lost or did someone steal it. The amount of money was 450 Saudi riyals. Due to that I was not able to slaughter an animal, so I made my intention to fast. Then, during the time I made intention to fast, I came down with the flu (influenza). So, I went to the hospital in Makkah and I was given the necessary medicine. I was not able to fast and I returned to the city of Ar-Riyadh boarding a GMC truck for which the fare was paid in advance before going according to the agreement and conditions. When I arrived (in Ar-Riyadh) my illness and weakness became worse, so I went to a clinic, had a complete checkup and was given the necessary medication. Thus, I was not able to fast. After I recover from the sickness does it benefit (me) to fast and what should I do, knowing that my intention was to sacrifice an animal, but this was the Decree and Preordainment of Allâh? I hope from you that you can give me a ruling regarding my case, and may Allâh make you all a source of help for the religion of Islam.

Answer:

If the matter is as you have mentioned, in that you assumed Ihram for Hajj and Umrah together as a Qarin pilgrim, and you performed them, and that your money was lost and you had nothing to buy an animal with, you must fast 3 days during Hajj and 7 days when you return to your land or wherever you live. Since you mentioned that you had a continuous illness that lasted until you returned to Ar-Riyadh and you were not able (to fast), you must fast 10 days where you live in Ar-Riyadh or any other place whenever you are able to do so. There is nothing due on you other than this. May Allâh send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, his family and Companions.
