Question:
May Allah reward you with good. In her second question, she says: After I suffered a psychological crisis, especially following the death of my father, whom I feel guilty toward because I was not prepared for his passing, despite his great love for him (may Allah have mercy on him). This affected my relationship with my husband, who has love and respect for me and is of a good level of piety. He tries to bring me closer to Allah, but he finds nothing from me except irritability and anger, which is against my will. I regret it, and I have become unable to live with him in Makkah, knowing that I am from the city of Alexandria, and I miss my country very much. Please guide us as well. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
So, she should precede this with patience and seeking reward from Allah regarding the death of her father, and with supplication and seeking forgiveness for him, and doing good deeds for him through charity and kindness. This is part of completing her dutifulness to her father. Indeed, dutifulness to her father includes supplicating for him after his death, and performing acts of obedience for him, such as charity, Hajj, or 'Umrah. This is part of being dutiful to him. Likewise, if he had debts, it is part of her dutifulness to her father after his death to pay off his debts, as well as supplicating for him, seeking forgiveness for him, and sending blessings upon him. All of this benefits him and constitutes dutifulness to her father. Similarly, being dutiful to parents after their death, being kind to their friends, and maintaining ties with the relatives connected to them, all of this is part of dutifulness. Dutifulness does not end with death; it continues even after their passing. These are the deeds. Therefore, she should make up for what she missed during his lifetime, if Allah wills.
