The hybridization of the central atom, P, is sp3d because it's shape is trigonal bipyramidal.
In the molecule IF 7 the the central atom I has 7 valence electrons out of which all 7 electrons form 7 sigma bonds implies thestearic number is 7 and therefore the hybridization is sp³d³ and the geometry is same as shape which is pentagonal bipyramidal. In which 5 F are in equatorial position and 2 F atoms are at axial position.
