Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: Is it permissible to pray the funeral prayer over one who withholds zakah?
Answer:
Withholding zakah out of stinginess is a sin, but withholding it out of denial makes one a disbeliever, and the funeral prayer is not performed for him. As for withholding it out of stinginess, this is considered a sin. The zakah is paid out of his wealth, and if he dies, the zakah is paid out of his wealth because it is a debt upon him, and the funeral prayer is performed for him. Yes.
