Does the imam pray over one who was killed in retaliation?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : For example, if someone surrendered himself... to retaliation, does the one in authority pray over him?

The Shaykh : The killer is not prayed over; the one who killed himself...
He is prayed over, even the one who killed himself, provided there is no discretionary punishment for the people. He is not forbidden, but it is better that he not be prayed over if he killed himself.
