Summary
Making supplication for one's parents, whether they are alive or have passed away, is an encouraged act based on Quranic verses and the hadith about a righteous child who prays for them. The wording differs depending on who is included: one form for oneself and one's parents, and another for a group together with their parents. A third form, with a kasrah on the word for parents, also covers grandparents and ancestors. An imam should pray on behalf of all the congregation, not only himself.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, doa kepada kedua ibubapa sama ada masih hidup atau telah meninggal dunia merupakan satu perkara yang dituntut.
