Is it obligatory for the children of one who died in a state of ihram at 'Arafah to perform Hajj on his behalf?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If a pilgrim dies during the obligatory Hajj, while in a state of ihram at 'Arafah, and he did not complete his Hajj, is it obligatory for his children to perform Hajj on his behalf the following year?

Answer:
The correct opinion, and what the hadith indicates, is that he does not perform Hajj on his behalf, because he died in a state of ihram and remained in his rites, so he is not represented in that.
