Summary
A child who has wronged parents who have died can make amends by seeking forgiveness for them, giving charity and making endowments (waqf) on their behalf. The child should also fulfil the parents' bequests and complete obligations they left unfinished, such as the pilgrimage (hajj) and make-up fasts.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
