Asking Parents in a General Manner for Forgiveness

1-6-2020 | IslamWeb

Question:

Asalamo aleikoum wa rahmatulah. If a person wants to ask forgivness to his parents for any disrespectdul act he may have done towards them can he do this in a general manner for example saying: Mum can you forgive me anytime I made you angry or I may have done uqoq to you? .If she accepts and say yes, will Allah accept this even if she does not remember certain things when she said yes?

Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

Requesting forgiveness from one's parents using the same wording mentioned in the question will benefit him. It is good for a person to ask forgiveness from his parents especially that their right is great and it is one of the most emphatic rights [that a person is required to fulfill].

Allah knows best.
