Answer :

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
Tawaf-e-Qudoom is Sunnah upon the non-residents of Makkah who come from abroad if they are performing Ifraad or Qiran Hajj. It is not Sunnah upon a person performing Tamattu. Furthermore, people residing in Makkah and performing Hajj will not perform Tawaaf-e-Qudoom.[1]
