Question:
The questioner says: If a person dies and it appears that he was upon major shirk, is he declared a disbeliever so that no funeral prayer is performed for him, or is it said that Allah knows best what he died upon, for perhaps he repented and turned back?
Answer:
If his shirk is known and he is famous for his shirk, then no funeral prayer is performed for him. Yes.
