The righteous deeds that reach the parents after their death

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the prescribed righteous deed that reaches the parents after their death?

Answer:
The righteous deed is charity on their behalf, seeking forgiveness and making du'a' (supplication) for them, performing Hajj and 'Umrah for them, also paying off debts if they had debts, also carrying out the bequest; a valid bequest is carried out. This is part of dutifulness to the parents, and the reward of it reaches them if Allah accepts it. Even among the dutifulness to the parents after their death is honoring the parents' friend. This is part of dutifulness to the parents.
