Expiation for Undutifulness to a Parent After His Death
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
One of the brothers says: I was undutiful to my father, and I regret it after his death. What should I do to expiate my sin?
Answer:
You must repent and seek forgiveness, and you must be dutiful to your father by making supplication for him, giving charity on his behalf, visiting his grave and making supplication for him, performing Hajj on his behalf, and performing 'Umrah on his behalf. Do these things frequently, so that perhaps Allah will lighten your burden. Also, if he had debts, hasten to pay them off on his behalf. Likewise, if he left a lawful bequest, carry it out as he instructed. This is part of being dutiful to him. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
