Is the funeral prayer performed for one who abandons the prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If someone dies while abandoning the prayer, do we pray over him?

Answer:
If you are certain that he has abandoned the prayer permanently, that he does not pray, neither in his home nor in congregation, and he abandoned the prayer and died in that state without repenting, then do not pray over him.
