Question:
If one of his parents dies, he is not a believer on behalf of his child, so what does this child do to place him after his death?
Answer:
He seeks forgiveness from Allah, repents to Him, and increases his supplication for his parents, gives charity on their behalf, and does good to them through what reaches them of the reward of charity, Hajj, 'Umrah, and supplication, so that Allah the Exalted may forgive him and lighten his burden. Yes. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
