Question:
He asks, saying that he was disobedient to his father, undutiful to him, and treated him badly. Then his father passed away, so he asks: Since I am deeply regretful, how can I make expiation for this past mistake?
Answer:
He must repent to Allah, feel remorse, and supplicate for his father with forgiveness and mercy, and give charity on his behalf. All of this is good. Sincere repentance and remorse, and if he supplicates for his father and gives charity on his behalf, that is among the best means of drawing near to Allah. We ask Allah for guidance for everyone. Yes. But, but.
