How is dutifulness to parents after their death?

The questioner:
The questioner asks: Honorable Shaykh, does dutifulness to parents after their death through supplication, or Hajj, or 'Umrah on their behalf, count as repentance, or as expiation for their rights, or for falling short in their obligatory rights before their death? May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh:
There is no doubt that this is part of the dutifulness and excellence shown to parents after their death.

The questioner:
Supplication, and Hajj and 'Umrah for them; is all of that considered dutifulness?

The Shaykh:
As for the falling short that occurred on your part during their lifetimes, we hope that Allah will forgive you, as long as you have regretted it, grieved over it, and made up for it after their death by being kind to them and dedicating good deeds to them. We hope that this will be beneficial for you and for them, and that Allah will overlook the faults of us and of you.
