Is a Meccan obligated to offer a sacrifice if he performs Hajj on behalf of a non-Meccan, while performing Hajj Tamattu‘?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
If someone from outside Mecca appoints a resident of Mecca to perform Hajj on their behalf as a Mutamatti' (one performing Tamattu' Hajj), then no Hadi (sacrificial animal) is required of the appointed person. This is because the people of Mecca are not considered Mutamatti'een in the same way, as they assume Ihram for Hajj from Mecca itself. The correct view is that Tamattu' is legislated for the Meccan, and no Hadi is obligatory upon them.
