Question:
This questioner says: A person testifies that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, but he does not pray, and then he dies. Is the funeral prayer performed for him?
Answer:
If it is established that he does not pray, then the funeral prayer is not performed for him, because he did not act upon the testimony that there is no god but Allah. Prayer is among its rights, indeed it is the first of its rights.
