Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: Whoever comes from another land and settles in Mecca, then performs Umrah during the months of Hajj, and after that performs Hajj, he will not be considered a Mutamatti’, nor is there any obligation of Hady (sacrificial animal) or fasting upon him. Rather, he is like the people of Mecca, as he has chosen to reside there.
