Ruling on standing for the funeral of a disbeliever

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: Is it prescribed to stand for the funeral of a disbeliever?

A: Yes, it is prescribed to stand for every funeral; due to the generality of his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):
Whenever you see a funeral procession, you should stand up.إذا رأيتم الجنازة فقوموا
Sahih al-Bukhari 1311
And it came in some narrations: They said: O Messenger of Allah, it is the funeral of a Jew. He said:
Is it not a soul?أليست نفسًا
In another wording:
We only stood for the angelsإنما قمنا للملائكة
In another wording:
Indeed, death has a terrorإن للموت لفزعًا
