Obeying Parents even after they Die
This post is in: Treatment of Parents
So what can we do for our parents if they have passed away?
The answer is there in the Hadith reported by Abu Osaid Ibn Assaaidi who said that we were near the Prophet (peace be upon him) when a man of Banu Salma came to Him and asked: “Ya RasulAllah (peace be upon him), Is there any obedience to parents left that I can show to them after their demise?” He said: “Yes! (You can be obedient to them) by praying for them, to seek forgiveness for them by fulfilling their instructions after their death, by keeping affinity to those who are not connected with you but through them and to honour their friends” (Abu Dawud and Ibn Maja)
