The Shaykh : Does he mean he entered the state of ihram?
The questioner : Yes
The Shaykh : As for the one who entered the state of ihram for Hajj, the most likely view, and may Allah have mercy on al-Shafi'i, is that entering the state of ihram for Hajj before its months is not valid, and if he does so, it becomes an 'Umrah. Yes.
