Question

My parents have died and I want to perform 2 rakat nafil of bakhshish o maghfirat for them.

1. Can I perform this?

2. If yes, then please tell me what is the best way to do that?

Answer

1. Yes.

2. You may read the two rakaats at any time and you may do it regularly. The greater the sincerity the greater the reward. You may also do some charitable works and pass on the rewards to them.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
