Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, do we pray the funeral prayer for all the people of innovation, or is there a distinction in this?
Answer:
For the one whose innovation does not take him out of Islam, the funeral prayer is performed for him. You have understood that the funeral prayer is performed for the people of the qiblah; as long as his innovation does not lead him into disbelief and shirk (associating partners with Allah), the funeral prayer is performed for him.
