What is the ruling on someone who dies after completing all the rites of Hajj except for the Farewell Tawaf (Tawaf al-Ifadah), and can it be performed on their behalf?

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.
