The Prayer for One Who Kills Himself, and the Funeral Prayer at the Grave and During the Prohibited Times

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
O Shaykh, regarding one who killed himself. One who killed himself, is it the case that? The prayer is obligatory upon the Muslims.

The Shaykh:
Some of the Muslims pray for him, yes, just like for any other Muslim, just like for any other person.

Another questioner:
The funeral prayer at the grave during the prohibited times.

The Shaykh:
No, one does not pray for him and send blessings upon him except if it is in the long time, after the 'Asr prayer, the long time from the causes of the reasons,

Another questioner:
So it does not mean that one does not use a new development.

The Shaykh:
If it is after the 'Asr prayer or after the Fajr prayer for a long time, then, if Allah wills, there is no harm, because it is from the supplications of the causes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Three hours," he said: "Uqbah said: Three hours in which we used to fast, and we used to recite in them our dead, when the sun rises until it reaches its zenith, and when the sun is about to set, until it is in the narrowness."

The questioner:
What Allah willed for you. Leaving the prayer for the guidance of the eggs.

The Shaykh:
If the scholars leave it in order to deter people from their actions, that is fine, such as leaving the prayer for one who kills himself. However, some people pray for them if they are a group that does not declare them disbelievers, provided that his Islam is established.

Another questioner:
By Allah, you do not dance with these people when the scholars and the notables recite the prayer. When they leave the prayer for this open sinner or this sinner, it does not become an example for others to leave the prayer for him, and does it remain that no one prays for him?

The Shaykh:
He does not pray for him, if the prayer for a Muslim is obligatory, but some Muslims pray for him.
