Being dutiful to one's parents after their demise
Question
I lost both my parents within 2 years, both in Ramadan. What is the best way to send sawaab to them and how, as their child, can I still be dutiful to them?
Answer
Do some esaale thawaab by reciting the Qur'aan, making zikr or doing some charitable work or teaching and encouraging someone towards righteousness.
Insha-Allah if you do this and make du`aa for them you will be counted as a dutiful child.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
