The Prayer for One Who Dies with Major Sins and Transgressions
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Is there a prayer for one who dies with major sins and transgressions
The Shaykh:
upon him.
The questioner:
upon him, major sins such as killing a soul? Do the imams of the mosques not pray over him?
The Shaykh:
They pray over him, they pray over him. It is the general imam, the one in authority, who does not pray over him. As for the rest of the Muslims, they pray over him, because he is their brother and he is a Muslim. Even if he committed a major sin, Allah forgives him. They supplicate for his forgiveness, hoping that Allah will forgive him for this major sin. They make du'a' for him and seek forgiveness for him. The one who committed a major sin is in greater need of supplication and seeking forgiveness for him than anyone else. Yes.
