The Intercession of Righteous Parents for Their Children

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If the fathers and mothers are righteous, do they intercede for their sons and daughters on the Day of Resurrection?

Answer:
Yes, if they make du'a' (supplication) for them in this life, saying, “O Allah, rectify my children,” or “O Allah, forgive me and my descendants,” as Ibrahim (peace be upon him) said:
My Lord, make me an establisher of prayer, and [many] from my descendants. Our Lord, and accept my supplication.رَبِّ اجْعَلْنِي مُقِيمَ الصَّلَاةِ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِي رَبَّنَا وَتَقَبَّلْ دُعَاءِ
[Ibrahim 14:40]
. Supplication is intercession, so he makes du'a' for them. Yes.
