The ruling on one who performs 'Umrah before Hajj and then goes to al-Ta'if

Question:
The fourth question: A person entered the state of ihram for 'Umrah fifteen days before Hajj, then went to al-Ta'if, and has now returned to perform Hajj. Is he considered to be performing tamattu' and does he owe a sacrificial animal?

Answer:
Yes, if he completed the 'Umrah and then went to al-Ta'if or to Jeddah and then came for Hajj, he is considered to be performing tamattu', unless he is from the people of al-Ta'if or the people of Jeddah, or from their own area, and he returned to his home and then came for ifrad Hajj. In this case, the majority of scholars hold that he owes nothing. This is also reported from 'Umar and his son (may Allah be pleased with them both): if one performs 'Umrah and then returns to his home in his city and then comes for ifrad Hajj only, the majority hold that they are in the same ruling and owe nothing. If he went to al-Ta'if for a need, not as a destination for a need, or to Jeddah, this does not change the ruling or the like. Yes.
