Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner from America says: There is a believing man who is addicted to narcotics, and he needed treatment. He received assistance at a hospital there, and they made it a condition that he leave the religion and enter the religion of the Christians. He says he did this and then died. Now their question is: His family requested assistance with the expenses to hold a funeral for him, stating that he was ignorant of what he did. What is your guidance in this matter?
Answer:
This is an apostate, may Allah protect us from that, and do not assist them. Yes.
