Praying over a deceased Sufi in a funeral organized by the Sufis

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: One of my family members passed away following one of the Sufi paths, and a Sufi organization will be organizing his funeral. Is it permissible for me to go and pray over him with them?

Answer:
If their Sufism has not reached the level of disbelief, and it is merely a religious innovation (bid'ah), then go and pray over him with them, and oversee his burial and supervision of it. Yes.
