What is the correct form of supplications and Surahs whose reward reaches the deceased, and which of them is most beneficial, apart from ongoing charity and giving charity? Does abstaining from supplicating for a deceased father due to psychological circumstances make the daughter undutiful and her father displeased with her? And does the anger and boycott of siblings due to a dispute over inheritance, despite the daughter being in the right, cause the deceased father to be displeased?

Among the acts of filial piety towards parents after their death are: supplicating for them, executing their will and covenant, maintaining ties with their kin, and honoring their friends. A man's rank may be elevated due to his child's supplication for him. There is no harm in dedicating the reward of reciting the Qur'an to the deceased, and the reward will reach them, Allah willing. A daughter has the right to claim her share of the inheritance from her father's estate. It is not permissible to prevent daughters from their share, for Allah Almighty has prescribed a portion for women in inheritance, and He has warned those who transgress His limits concerning inheritance.
