Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Among the questions that came to the program, a questioner says: What are the righteous deeds that I can offer to my father and my mother? For a period of their lives, I was short in my rights toward them, and now they have passed on to their Lord. What are the righteous deeds that will reach them?
Answer:
The righteous deeds that reach them are those for which there is evidence, namely making du'a' (supplication) for them. Increase in making du'a' for them, give charity on their behalf, and perform Hajj and 'Umrah on their behalf. This is what the evidence indicates. Increase in doing these things. If they had debts, you must pay them off on their behalf, because this is part of being dutiful to them. If they had friends, you should honor their friends in fulfillment of the right of the parents. All of this is part of being dutiful to them and doing good to them. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
