Question
Hello, is the prohibition of sitting in the place of parents only during their lifetime or also after their death?
Answer
Hello,
The prohibition is only during their lifetime, but after their death, it is permitted and even considered a mitzvah, as it is an honor for the father that his son sits in his place after him.
