If the distance between the miqat and Makkah is short, is it prescribed to perform ghusl for entering Makkah as well?

The questioner : May Allah reward you. If the distance between Makkah and al-Sayl al-Kabir is approximately one hour by car, or perhaps a little less, and one performs ghusl inside Ta’if, intending that ghusl for entering Makkah?
The Shaykh : That is, intending with it the ghusl for entering Makkah and entering ihram. It appears that there is no harm in it, if Allah wills, because first, the dust in the present time is very little, not as it was in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and second, the time is short, so if a person performs ghusl at al-Sayl, it suffices him from performing ghusl in Makkah.
