Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is it permissible to pray for the mercy of one of one's parents if he is not a Muslim?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible to pray for the mercy of a non-Muslim. You do not say, "May Allah have mercy on him," or make a supplication for his mercy; this is specific to the Muslim. Yes. That is the end. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad.
