Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. He says: I read in some books that whoever seeks forgiveness for the believers and the believing women twenty-seven times is forgiven for every believer and believing woman. Is this reported?
Answer:
Seeking forgiveness for oneself, the believing men, and the believing women is a prescribed matter. Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, said to His Prophet:[Muhammad 47:19], [Muhammad 47:19]. He, Glorified and Exalted is He, said: [Muhammad 47:19]. So if you seek forgiveness for yourself and your parents, as Noah (peace be upon him) did when he said: [Nuh 71:28], then that is prescribed. As for specifying it with a number like twenty-seven or a fixed number, that requires evidence, and I do not know of any evidence for this specification. However, seeking forgiveness for yourself, your parents, the believing men, and the believing women is a prescribed matter, and Allah the Exalted has commanded it, and it is recommended.

Answer:
Seeking forgiveness for oneself, the believing men, and the believing women is a prescribed matter. Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, said to His Prophet:
and ask forgiveness for your sin and for the believing men and believing women
وَاسْتَغْفِرْ لِذَنبِكَ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِand ask forgiveness for your sin and for the believing men and believing women
وَاسْتَغْفِرْ لِذَنبِكَ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِSo know, [O Muhammad], that there is no deity except Allah and ask forgiveness for your sin and for the believing men and believing women
فَاعْلَمْ أَنَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَاسْتَغْفِرْ لِذَنبِكَ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِforgive me and my parents and whoever enters my house a believer and the believing men and believing women
اغْفِرْ لِي وَلِوَالِدَيَّ وَلِمَن دَخَلَ بَيْتِيَ مُؤْمِنًا وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ
