The questioner : What is the degree of authenticity of the hadith which states, in its meaning, “Part of being dutiful to one’s parents after their death is that you pray for them along with your own prayer, and that you fast for them along with your own fast”?
The Shaykh : This hadith is weak and is not authentic from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). However, part of being dutiful to one’s parents after their death is that you seek forgiveness for them, call upon Allah for them, honor their friends, and maintain the family ties through which they are connected to you. This is part of being dutiful to one’s parents after their death. As for praying for them along with your prayer, the known lawful prayer, or fasting for them, there is no basis for this. Yes.
