Hadith.2545 - Mansur al-Sayqal narrated from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام that he said:
"The pilgrim falls into three categories with us: one performing tamattu‘ (combining ‘umrah and Hajj with a break in between), one performing ifrad (Hajj alone), and one driving the sacrificial animal (sā'iq al-hady), which is qirān (combining ‘umrah and Hajj without a break)."
It is not permissible for the residents of Mecca or its surrounding areas to perform tamattu‘ between ‘umrah and Hajj. They are limited to qirān or ifrad, as Allah سبحانه وتعالى the Almighty states: “So whoever performs ‘umrah in the months of Hajj before performing Hajj shall offer what is easy of sacrifice.”
He then clarifies: “This is for those whose families are not present at the Sacred Mosque.”
The boundary for hādir al-masjid al-haram (residents of the Sacred Mosque) is defined as Mecca and its surroundings within 48 miles. Those residing outside this boundary must perform Hajj tamattu‘ (with ‘umrah preceding Hajj), as Allah سبحانه وتعالى accepts only this type of Hajj from them.
