What duaa's (prayers) I am permitted to make for my non-muslim family and friends(living and dead)?

Question

I have converted to Islam and so have only non-muslim family. My parents are both dead.

Answer

You may make Du?aa of Hidaayat (divine guidance) for your non-Muslim living relatives.

However, you may not make Du?aa for your deceased non-Muslim relatives. This is the command of Allah.
