What is the ruling on one who intended to perform Hajj as a mutamatti' and arrived late on the Day of Tarwiyah, so he changed his intention to ifrad?

The questioner : The honorable Shaykh says: A man intended to perform Hajj as a mutamatti' from the miqat. He arrived late on the Day of Tarwiyah and, out of ignorance, assumed he did not have enough time to perform 'Umrah and complete the tamattu'. So he changed his intention from tamattu' to ifrad. Does he owe anything? May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : Yes, this man entered the state of ihram for 'Umrah as a mutamatti'. Then, when he arrived in Makkah, he was late. So he changed his intention to ifrad, meaning he entered the state of ihram for Hajj with the intention of Hajj. In reality, this is not valid; it is not valid to change the intention from 'Umrah to ifrad. However, it is valid to change the intention from 'Umrah to qiran, provided that this is done before beginning the tawaf. So we tell this man who changed his intention from 'Umrah to Hajj: You are a muqarin. Consequently, it is obligatory for him to offer the hady, which he must slaughter in Makkah, just as it is obligatory for the mutamatti'. If he is currently present here, it is obligatory for him to appoint someone to buy him a hady in Makkah, slaughter it, eat from it, give charity from it, and gift some of it.
