What is meant by the statement that the people of Makkah do not perform Tamattu'?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, the father. The questioner says: The scholars say that the people of Makkah do not perform Tamattu'. Does this mean that it is not permissible for them to choose the Tamattu' form of Hajj, or that they may perform Tamattu' but no sacrificial animal is required of them?

Answer:
The One who said that the people of Makkah do not perform Tamattu' is Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He)
This is for those whose family is not in the area of al-Masjid al-Haram.ذَٰلِكَ لِمَن لَّمْ يَكُنْ أَهْلُهُ حَاضِرِي الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ
[Al-Baqarah 2:196]
So the people of Makkah do perform Tamattu', but the sacrificial animal is not obligatory upon them; the sacrificial animal for Tamattu' is not obligatory upon them.
