Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A disbelieving couple intended to convert to Islam, so the wife converted, and then the husband was killed on the same day before he converted. Her question is: Is it permissible for her to seek forgiveness for him and to make du'a' for him?
Answer:
No, as long as he died other than on Islam[At-Tawbah 9:113], it is not permissible to seek forgiveness for a disbeliever.

Answer:
No, as long as he died other than on Islam
It is not for the Prophet and those who have believed to ask forgiveness for the polytheists, even if they were relatives
مَا كَانَ لِلنَّبِيِّ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَن يَسْتَغْفِرُوا لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ وَلَوْ كَانُوا أُولِي قُرْبَىٰ
