Passing the Miqat without Ihram, Then Switching to Tamattu'

The questioner:
May Allah benefit us with your knowledge. Please inform us: A man entered Makkah with the intention of performing Hajj ifrad, but he passed the miqat without entering ihram because he entered a long time before the scheduled date of Hajj, exceeding twenty days. A week before Hajj, he changed his intention and performed 'Umrah, becoming a one performing tamattu'. He entered ihram for 'Umrah from al-Tan'im. What is required of him?

The Shaykh:
He entered ihram for 'Umrah from the miqat.

The questioner:
He says: He entered Makkah with the intention of performing Hajj alone (Ifrad), then he passed the Miqat without entering the state of Ihram, because he entered a long time before the scheduled date of Hajj, more than twenty days prior. A week before Hajj, he changed his intention and performed 'Umrah, becoming a person performing Tamattu'. He entered the state of Ihram for 'Umrah from Tan'im. What is his obligation?

The Shaykh:
The one who wants to perform Hajj or 'Umrah must not pass the miqat without being in ihram, without being in ihram. Even if it is an early time, as long as he is coming for Hajj or 'Umrah and passes the miqat, he enters ihram from there. When he reaches the House, he performs tawaf and sa'y and shortens his hair, making it an 'Umrah. Then he waits until Hajj comes, like today, the Day of Muzdalifah, and he enters ihram for Hajj. Yes, and he will be a mutamatti'.
