Any person who died without performing the obligatory hajj while
having had the ability to do so must have hajj performed on his behalf.
This also applies to one who had made a vow to perform hajj. The cost is taken out of the deceased's estate and the heirs may nominate someone to undertake the journey.

'Abdullah bin 'Abbas related:
"A lady inquired, "My mother has made a vow to perform hajj but she died
before performing it. Should I perform hajj on her behalf?' The Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam replied, "Yes, perform Hajj for her. Suppose your mother has a debt. Would
you not clear it? Pay Allah's debt, for His debt is more worthy of being fulfilled.
The aforementioned hadith clearly states that hajj should be performed on behalf of the deceased person- whether he mentioned it in a will or not.
Another point clarified by this hadith is that when a person on whom hajj is incumbent dies without performing it, the hajj expense should be kept aside before the distribution of his estate because Allah's debt should be discharged first.
