The answer

Whoever performed the rituals of Hajj except for the circumambulation of Ifadah ( al-Ifadah) and then died before performing it, it is not to be circumambulated on their behalf. This is based on the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) statement regarding the person who died while in a state of : "Wash him with water and sidr, and shroud him in his two garments. Do not perfume him, nor cover his head, for Allah Almighty will resurrect him on the Day of Resurrection reciting the ." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not command that Tawaf be performed on his behalf; rather, he informed that Allah would resurrect him on the Day of Resurrection reciting the talbiyah, due to his remaining in the state of ihram, having neither circumambulated nor had it circumambulated on his behalf.
