The questioner : He says: A man from Qassim appointed a man from Makkah to perform Hajj on his behalf as a mutamatti'. So is the sacrificial animal obligatory for the tamattu' in such a case, or not?
The Shaykh : This is not obligatory. How can the people of Makkah be mutamatti'? Because they did not perform 'Umrah from the miqat; rather, they entered the state of ihram from Makkah for Hajj. So they are not mutamatti'. Accordingly, if one wants to appoint someone who can perform tamattu', let him appoint someone from Ta'if, for example, or from Jeddah. But not the people of Makkah. Yes.
