Can Muslims pray for forgiveness of their parents or relatives who died as non practicing Muslims/ Mushriqs?

کیا مسلمان اپنے ان والدین یا رشتہ داروں کے لئیے دعائے مغفرت کرسکتا ہے جو مشرک یا بےعمل مسلمان کی حالت میں مر گئے؟

Surah At-Tawbah: 9 - Ayah: 113
Arabic
مَا كَانَ لِلنَّبِىِّ وَالَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡاۤ اَنۡ يَّسۡتَغۡفِرُوۡا لِلۡمُشۡرِكِيۡنَ وَ لَوۡ كَانُوۡۤا اُولِىۡ قُرۡبٰى مِنۡۢ بَعۡدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُمۡ اَنَّهُمۡ اَصۡحٰبُ الۡجَحِيۡمِ‏
English
[9:113] After it has become clear that they are condemned to the Flaming Fire, it is not for the Prophet and those who believe to ask for the forgiveness of those who associate others with Allah in His Divinity even if they be near of kin.
Urdu
Nabi ko aur un logon ko jo iman laye hain, zeba nahin hai ke mushrikon ke liye magfirat ki dua karein, chahe woh unke rishtedar hi kyun na hon, jabke unpar yeh baat khul chuki hai ke woh jahannum ke mustahiq hain
Surah At-Tawbah: 9 - Ayah: 114
Arabic
وَمَا كَانَ اسۡتِغۡفَارُ اِبۡرٰهِيۡمَ لِاَبِيۡهِ اِلَّا عَنۡ مَّوۡعِدَةٍ وَّعَدَهَاۤ اِيَّاهُ​ ۚ فَلَمَّا تَبَيَّنَ لَهٗۤ اَنَّهٗ عَدُوٌّ لِّلّٰهِ تَبَرَّاَ مِنۡهُ​ ؕ اِنَّ اِبۡرٰهِيۡمَ لَاَوَّاهٌ حَلِيۡمٌ‏
English
[9:114] And Abraham's prayer for the forgiveness of his father was only because of a promise which he had made to him. Then, when it became clear to him that he was an enemy of Allah, he dissociated himself from him. Surely Abraham was most tender-hearted, God-fearing, forbearing.
Urdu
Ibrahim ne apne baap ke liye jo dua e magfirat ki thi woh to us wadey ki wajah se thi jo usne apne baap se kiya tha, magar jab uspar yeh baat khul gayi ke uska baap khuda ka dushman hai to woh ussey bezar ho gaya. Haqq yeh hai ke Ibrahim bada raqeeq-ul-qalb (tender-hearted) o khuda tars aur burdbaar (Godfearing and forbearing) aadmi tha
