Is a deceased father held accountable for not having disposed of the earnings from selling cigarettes after his repentance and performance of Hajj, and is it incumbent upon the heirs to dispose of this money to purify it? And how can the proportion of money to be given out be determined if the answer is yes, knowing that the father left behind money and properties acquired from trading in foodstuff and cigarettes?

If your father worked as an employee in a grocery store and did not directly sell cigarettes, then his earnings are lawful (halal). If he directly sold cigarettes and then repented, he is not obligated to dispose of the money he earned from this sale before his repentance. Therefore, there is no harm for you in benefiting from your father's inheritance.
