Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is the funeral prayer performed for a sorcerer against whom the hadd has been carried out?
Answer:
The sorcerer is a disbeliever. The hadd carried out against him is the hadd of disbelief; it is not a hadd of purification. It is a hadd of disbelief where he is killed for his disbelief, not as a hadd. As long as he is a disbeliever, the funeral prayer is not performed for him.
