Is the funeral prayer performed for one who killed himself?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: One who kills himself, is he considered a Muslim? And is the funeral prayer performed for him?

Answer:
Meaning, the people of virtue who are followed as an example do not pray over one who killed himself, in order to deter people from this act. As for the other Muslims, they pray over them and do not leave them without a prayer. Yes.
