Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Our sister has a question in which she says: I pray 'Isha' in the middle of the night, and I remember my deceased mother (may Allah have mercy on her) and I increase my supplication for her. I remember my mother's actions in all parts of the house, so I burst into tears, and I am no longer able to make supplication, and I am no longer able to sleep. Is there a sin upon me given the situation I described? May Allah reward you with good. And does this have any effect on my mother? Please inform us and guide us. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
It is obligatory for you to perform the prayer before the middle of the night. The prayer before the middle of the night is the 'Isha' prayer. When the red twilight disappears from the direction of the west, the time for 'Isha' begins until the middle of the night, so you must pray it before the middle of the night.
As for supplication for your mother, this is a required matter. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Riyad as-Salihin 1383 The term "child" includes both male and female. A daughter is called a "child," and a son is called a "child." The meaning is that the supplication of a child, whether male or female, is required and benefits the parent. So you are rewarded for your supplication for her, but do not wail over her. As for tears from the eyes, they do no harm, but do not wail, do not raise your voice. Mere tears from the eyes do no harm. It is obligatory for you to be cautious, and it is prescribed for you to increase your supplication for her. May Allah reward you with good.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.

As for supplication for your mother, this is a required matter. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
When a man dies, his deeds come to an end except for three things: Sadaqah Jariyah (ceaseless charity); a knowledge which is beneficial, or a virtuous descendant who prays for him (for the deceased).
