Why does my deceased father always appear sick in my dreams?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
My father died 3 years ago due to severe asthma and heart problem. Often he comes into my dreams? When he comes into my dream, he is always in sick condition. He used to put his hand into his chest as he was an asthma patient. Sometimes he is annoyed with me. And there are very few time when I found him happy in my dreams. I am upset that, he is not well in his grave. What is the interpretation of the dream?

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

(Fatwa: 375/370/N=04/1437)

It is the right of children that they pray for the forgiveness of their parents after their death. Also they should do charity work as per their capacity and send its reward to their parents. Hence you should pray Allah for the forgiveness and mercy of your father. And also do charity work as per your capacity and recite the Holy Quran and send the reward to him. In-shaAllah, it shall give pleasure to his soul and he shall feel easy. May Allah forgive your father and may his soul rest in peace.
عن عبدالله بن عباس رضى الله قال: قال رسول الله صلي الله عليه وسلم : “ما الميت فى القبر إلا كالغريق المتغوث ينتظر دعوة تلحقه من أب أو أم أو أخ أو صديق ، فإذا لحقته كان أحب إليه من الدنيا وما فيها ، وإن الله تعالى ليدخل على أهل القبور من دعاء أهل الأرض أمثال الجبال ، وإن هدية الأحياء إلى الأموات الاستغفار لهم” رواه البيهقي في شعب الإيمان (مشكوة شريف ص 206) ولم يذكر الودل في هذا لاحديث لكونه معلوما مقرراً فى الأحاديث (حاشيه مشكوة ، نمبر: 2 ، بحواله: لمعات)، وعن أبي أسيد الساعدي رضى الله قال : بينا نحن عند رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : إذ جاءه رجل من بني سلمة فقال: يا رسول الله! هل بقي من أبوي أبرهما بعد موتهما؟ قال: “نعم ، الصلاة عليهما والاستغفار لهما وإنقاذ عھدهما من بعدهما وصلة الرحم التي لا توصل إلا بهما وإكرام صديقهما ” رواه أبو داؤد وابن ماجة (مشكوة شريف ص 420)
