Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on one who hanged himself and committed suicide? Is the funeral prayer performed for him?
Answer:
Yes, the funeral prayer is performed for him because he is a Muslim, not a disbeliever. However, the people of virtue do not pray for him. The people of virtue, such as the imam and those who have virtue, do not pray for him as a deterrent for him and a deterrent for others. The general Muslim community prays for him, and he is not left without a funeral prayer. Yes.
