Du’a For Sunni Parents
Muammar Ibn Khallad asked Imam RiÄa (a.s.) whether one is allowed to pray for one’s parents if they had not followed the truth and had not been Shia.
Imam RiÄa (a.s.) replied,
“If they are dead, pray for them and give Sadaqah on their behalf. If they are alive keep them happy.”
The Holy Prophet (S) says;
“A-llah the Most High has sent me as the Mercy for the worlds, except to the ‘Ä€q’ (of parents).”
Jabir Ibn Abdullah (r.a.) reports that someone asked Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s.), “My parents are against the truth, i.e. they are not the Shia of Ahl ul-Bayt (a.s.)”. Imam replied:
“Be good towards them like you would be towards out Shias.”
