The ruling on praying over a deceased person according to those who do not consider him a disbeliever

As for the case where the imam considers it permissible to pray over the deceased, whether he prays or not—Meaning: he considers that abandoning the prayer does not constitute disbelief—can this be compared, O Shaykh, to praying with someone who eats camel meat if he considers that it does not break the ablution? Does the follower follow him?The Shaykh: You are now asking: Does the imam pray over him if he considers that one who abandons the prayer is not a disbeliever?The questioner: Yes, that is correct.

The Shaykh: We say: Yes.
If he considers that one who abandons the prayer is not a disbeliever, then he prays over him.

The questioner: What about the follower, O Shaykh?The Shaykh: Does the follower follow the imam while he considers—Meaning: the follower— that one who abandons the prayer is a disbeliever?We say: No; because the prayer is not a prayer for the person, the prayer is for the deceased, and the one praying will make du'a for the deceased,How can he make du'a for a disbeliever when Allah says: [At-Tawbah: 113] unlike the one who prayed behind someone who ate camel meat and did not perform ablution because he believed that it does not break the ablution, because I now believe that this man's prayer is valid and my prayer behind him is valid, and I did not do anything, I am in a state of ablution, but when I pray behind someone who prays over a disbeliever, I cannot make du'a for a disbeliever.
