I heard that the residents of Makkah do not have to perform the arrival tawaf in Hajj, except for those coming from outside Makkah. Is this correct?

Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. This is Umm 'Abd al-Rahman from Makkah al-Mukarramah, asking and saying: I am a resident of Makkah al-Mukarramah, and I heard some people say that the residents of Makkah do not have to perform the arrival tawaf in Hajj, except for those coming from outside Makkah. Is this correct? Please give us a ruling, we are your obedient ones. May Allah reward you with good. Know that I intend to perform Hajj.

Answer:
Yes, this is correct, if Allah wills. The arrival tawaf is only for the one coming from outside Makkah. As for the people of Makkah, they begin with Hajj and go to 'Arafah, if Allah wills. They go to Mina on the second day and go to 'Arafah without performing tawaf around the House, except after they descend from Muzdalifah, for then the tawaf of farewell begins for them. Yes, that is correct.
