Question:
This questioner asks: Do dutifulness to parents and righteous deeds lengthen one's life?

Answer:
Dutifulness to parents and righteous deeds are among the greatest means of drawing near to Allah, and dutifulness is among the causes of a long life and blessing in life, as in the hadith
nothing increases the life-span except righteousnessلا يزيد في العمر إلا البر

Anyone who wants to have his provision expanded and his term of life prolonged should maintain ties of kinship.من أحب أن يبسط له في رزقه، وأن ينسأ له في أجله؛ فليصل رحمه
Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 56
