Hadith 7908

Malik said, "Someone who does umra in Shawwal, Dhu'l-Qada orDhu'l-Hijja and then goes back to his people, and then returns anddoes hajj in that same year does not have to sacrifice an animal.Sacrificing an animal is only incumbent on some one who does umra inthe months of hajj, and then stays in Makka and then does hajj. Aperson not from Makka who moves to Makka and establishes his homethere and does umra in the months of the hajj and then begins his hajjthere is not doing tamattu. He does not have to sacrifice an animalnor does he have to fast. He is in the same position as the people ofMakka if he is one of those who are living there."Malik wasasked whether a man from Makka who had gone to live in another town orhad been on a journey and then returned to Makka with the intention ofstaying there, regardless of whether he had a family there or not, andentered it to do umra in the months of the hajj, and then began hishajj there, beginning his umra at the miqat of the Prophet, may Allahbless him and grant him peace, or at a place nearer than that, wasdoing tamattu or not?Malik answered, "He does not have tosacrifice an animal or fast as someone who is doing tamattu has to do.This is because Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, says in His Book,'That is for someone whose family are not present at Masjid al-Haram.'
