He (the Imam) said, ‘If one resides there for one or two years he is considered as people of Makkah.’ I then asked if one who stays there for one month can he perform al-Hajj al- Tamattu‘ (advantageous)?

He (the Imam) said, ‘He must perform al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous).’ I then asked, ‘Wherefrom must he commence his al-Hajj?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘He must go out of al-Haram (the sacred area).’ I then asked, ‘Where must he say Talbiyah for al-Hajj?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘He must say Talbiyah from where people say it.’” حسن على الظاهر - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (7/202))
