The prayer over one who died while abandoning the prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, if you know about a certain person that he does not perform the prayer, neither in congregation nor alone, but rather he abandons it out of negligence and laziness, and then he dies, should I inform my congregation about him so that they do not pray over him, as a way of disapproving of the evil?
Answer:
Yes, you do not pray over him because you know his state. You know his state, so you do not pray over him. As for those who do not know his state, you have no concern with them; leave it. But you do not pray over him, and you know his state.
