Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa number ( 17911 )
Q: I have a cousin who is about fifty years old. He has had a mental disability since childhood, and he does not pray, does not fast, and does not understand anything. My question, may Allah reward you: Is the funeral prayer performed for him when he dies, or not? ?
A: This person with a mental disability is considered a Muslim, so the funeral prayer is performed for him when
he dies, and he is buried in the Muslim cemeteries. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
