Is it permissible for a man who works as an imam in Makkah to request a transfer to al-Ta'if, where his family is?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
I have been a teacher since I graduated, and I work as a prayer leader in Makkah, and I have prayed. I have brothers in the city of al-Ta'if, so I made a request for a transfer.

The Shaykh:
Clarify the reading a little.

The questioner:
His plan is: so, do I have a request for transfer from Makkah to al-Ta'if, and he says, "Thank you, I am a teacher since I graduated, and I work as a prayer leader in Makkah."

The Shaykh:
The imam.

The questioner:
Yes, what, what, what, I specify, I specify the house.

The Shaykh:
I mean faith, I mean works of faith.

The questioner:
He requests a transfer to al-Ta'if, where his family is.

The Shaykh:
If he wishes, he does not request a transfer; he requests a transfer to al-Ta'if. Whether he becomes an imam in al-Ta'if and the position of imam is transferred to al-Ta'if, or it is not transferred, the matter is broad in this regard.
