How to repent for undutifulness to parents after their death

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, a young man was undutiful to his parents during their lifetimes, and they have now passed away. How can he make amends for the harm he caused them by severing ties with them while they were alive?

Answer:
He must repent to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and seek His forgiveness. Second, he should be kind to his parents, even though they are dead, by making supplication for them, giving charity on their behalf, fulfilling their bequests, and settling any debts they owed. He should also maintain ties with the relatives who are connected to him through his parents. If he maintains ties with his relatives who are connected to his parents, that is part of being dutiful to his parents, up to the point of honoring his parents’ friends and being kind to them; this is also part of being dutiful to his parents. Yes.
