The ruling on the 'Umrah of a resident of al-Ta'if during the months of Hajj

Question:
He says: May Allah greet you. A person residing in al-Ta'if performed 'Umrah in the month of Dhu al-Qa'dah, intended Hajj, and returned to al-Ta'if. Then he went again and returned for Hajj with the intention of ifrad. Does this make his action that of a mutamatti'?

Answer:
No, Ta'if today is not in the state of travel, because the buildings have become so close between Makkah and Ta'if that the distance of travel no longer exists between them. So he is in the ruling of a resident near Makkah. Yes.
