Q: A person got a penalty and he went back to his home country. Later he realized that he has to pay damm/fidya for his mistakes, but what if the person die before giving the penalty? Because he will have to wait to go back to Makkah for damm/fidya.
A: He does not have to wait to return to Makkah Mukarramah. He may appoint someone who is going to Makkah Mukarramah to slaughter a goat or sheep on his behalf in the precincts of the haram as an atonement for his mistake. He should also make a wasiyyat that if he passes away before the damm is carried out, then the damm should be carried out from one third of his estate after his demise.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
