The Intercession of the Righteous Father for His Children and Who Are the Intercessors

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, who used the code name Asama Alif Alif, asks: Does the righteous father intercede for his children? Who are those who intercede? And how is the intercession?

Answer:
Intercession is a reality; it exists. Intercession is supplication for others. Intercession is supplication for others. Therefore, the intercession of the righteous for other sinners, whether in supplication or in the Hereafter, by which Allah brings them out of the Fire if they are among the disobedient monotheists and not among the polytheists, is beneficial.
The righteous father also intercedes and supplicates for his child, both in this world and the Hereafter. Allah the Exalted said:
And those who believed and whose descendants followed them in faith - We will join with them their descendants, and We will not deprive them of anything of their deeds. Every person, for what he earned, is retained.وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَاتَّبَعَتْهُمْ ذُرِّيَّتُهُم بِإِيمَانٍ أَلْحَقْنَا بِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ وَمَا أَلَتْنَاهُم مِّنْ عَمَلِهِم مِّن شَيْءٍ كُلُّ امْرِئٍ بِمَا كَسَبَ رَهِينٌ
[At-Tur 52:21]
The children who died young, who are the *afrit*, intercede for their fathers on the Day of Resurrection. Yes.
