The Prayer for the Dead Debtor and for the One Who Killed Himself

The questioner:
The Shaykh’s case: if he flees from him and he has a debt, should he testify? No. And if there is no one to testify, then no. And if there is no one to testify, then no.

The Shaykh:
Burial is necessary; a person is not left on the surface of the earth as a corpse on the surface of the earth. Burial is necessary. However, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), in the beginning, when a dead person was brought to him, would ask: Does he have a debt? If he had a debt, he would delay and not pray over him, and he would order the Companions to pray over him, because his (peace and blessings be upon him) prayer is intercession; his (peace and blessings be upon him) prayer is intercession for the one over whom he prays. The debt is not dropped by intercession; the debt is the right of the created being, and intercession does not drop it. He (peace and blessings be upon him) would delay. When Allah expanded the means of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and he had some money due to the spoils of war and booty, he (peace and blessings be upon him) began to bear the debt of the dead person and pray over him. He would bear it from the public treasury and pray over him. As for other than the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), they pray over the dead person even if he has a debt. They pray over him even if he has a debt. Other than the Messenger prays, because the Messenger used to order the Companions to pray over the Muslim. So other than the Messenger prays over the dead person, even if he has a debt, and he is buried. The full procedures of the Muslim’s funeral are carried out, even if he has a debt. But his debt, if he has an estate, is paid from his estate. And if he has no estate, then it is recommended for the one who knows his condition among the Muslims to pay it for him. The one who knows his condition among his relatives or his Muslim brothers, it is recommended for him to pay his debt in order to release his brother from the pledge and to drop this debt that torments him in his grave. It is recommended for the one whom Allah has guided to pay for his Muslim brother, whether he is from his relatives or not. Huh? Yes, indeed.
The Grand Imam prays over him, yes. The rest of the Muslims pray over him. It is necessary to pray over him, because he is a Muslim. A Muslim is prayed over, even if he was a killer of himself. But the Grand Imam or his deputy does not pray over him, only for the sake of deterring from this crime. No, this is not right. It is not that he is forbidden from the prayer; it is the Grand Imam or his deputy who is forbidden. Yes. A Muslim’s funeral cannot be delayed or lack prayer, even if he was a killer of himself, even if he had a debt, even if a hadd was established against him. He is prayed over. As long as he is a Muslim, he is prayed over. A note: I have a trip tomorrow, if Allah wills, so there is no fiqh lesson this week only. But next week, if Allah wills, the lessons are complete. The lessons are as usual, except for the night of the vessels only. Yes.
