Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. He says: What is the righteous deed that reaches the parents, and which I should perform, since in truth I was short with my father and my mother, and I regretted it after their departure from this world?
Answer:
What remains of their dutifulness after their death is supplication for them, increasing in supplication for them, giving charity on their behalf, performing Hajj and 'Umrah on their behalf, and maintaining family ties connected to them, even a friend, even the father's friend; you are dutiful to him, because this is part of being dutiful to the father, as came in the hadith. If they left any bequests, you execute them. If they had any debts, you pay them off, and so on. Yes.
