How can one be dutiful to one's parents after their death?

The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. How can one be dutiful to one's parents after their death?

The Shaykh:
By what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) specified: supplicating for them, giving charity on their behalf, and paying off the debts and rights they owed to people. The child pays these off; this is part of being dutiful to one's parents. Likewise, maintaining ties with the friends of the parents, or rather, maintaining family ties.

The presenter:
Yes, yes.

The Shaykh:
Those connected to them is part of being dutiful to them. Maintaining ties with the relatives connected to the parents, such as grandfathers, grandmothers, paternal uncles, paternal aunts, maternal uncles, maternal aunts, brothers, and sisters. Maintaining ties with the relatives who are connected to a person through his parents is part of being dutiful to the parents after their death. Likewise, maintaining ties with the friends of the parents during their lifetime is part of being dutiful to them.
