Making dua for one's ustaad after his demise

Q: When I was 15 years old and doing Hifz by my ustaad I used to always say that I wish that he dies. My ustaad has passed away. I did not have a chance to ask him for forgiveness. Is there any hope for me?

A: Beg Allah Ta'ala for forgiveness on your behalf and on behalf of your ustaad, and make dua for him and convey rewards of good deeds to him. Insha Allah, this will be a means of you being included among the obedient students of your ustaad.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
