Declaring a Disbeliever for the Sin of the Deceased

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: A man died while in a state of disobedience to Allah the Mighty and Majestic. How can I atone for this sin that my companion committed?

Answer:
What is the sin? If he had a debt or a right owed to individuals, you should settle it for him. You should pay off his debt. This will benefit him, with the permission of Allah, and clear his conscience.
