Expiation for Undutifulness to Parents
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We are concluding this session, Honorable Shaykh, with a question from Sister Muram. She says: Is there an expiation for undutifulness to a father or mother? I truly wronged them, and I did not benefit or realize my mistake until after I got married and tasted the blessing of children. Is there an expiation for me for not being dutiful to my mother?
Answer:
If they are alive, she should seek their forgiveness for the shortcoming she committed toward them. If they are dead, or one of them is dead, she should seek forgiveness for them, make du'a for them, and give charity on their behalf.
