Is Hajj performed on behalf of one who died after standing at 'Arafah in the obligatory Hajj?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. If a person dies in the obligatory Hajj after standing at 'Arafah, is his Hajj considered completed, or is Hajj performed on his behalf?

Answer:
This person died in his Hajj, so Hajj is not performed on his behalf. He personally initiated the Hajj but did not complete it and died in it, so he remains in the state of ihram, similar to the state of one who falls off his mount.
