Question:
What reaches the parents who have been dead for many years? I did not treat them well during their lifetimes. What is obligatory for me now?
Answer:
Answer: Obligation It is not obligatory for you, but it is recommended for you, and it becomes more emphasized upon you, to make du'a' and increase your supplications for them, asking for forgiveness and mercy. You should also give charity on their behalf, and perform Hajj and 'Umrah on their behalf. The scope for being dutiful to the parents is open, and praise be to Allah. You should also maintain ties with your relatives who are connected to the parents, because this is also part of being dutiful to the parents. You should also maintain ties with their friends, the friends of the parents in their lifetime.
