The answer

There is no harm in performing Hajj as a Mutamatti' (one who combines and Hajj) for someone who is able to fast instead of offering a sacrifice (hady), due to the Almighty's saying: "So whoever performs Umrah [during the months of Hajj] then completes [it with] Hajj [is to offer] what can be easily obtained of sacrifice. But whoever cannot find [or afford such an animal] - then a fast of three days during Hajj and seven when you have returned [home]." So the pilgrim fasts three days in Mecca and seven days after returning to his country.
