The Ruling on Praying over a Hypocrite
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: If it is known that the deceased is a hypocrite, should the funeral prayer be performed for him?
A: The funeral prayer is not performed for him; because Allah the Exalted said: [Surah al-Tawbah: 84] if his hypocrisy is apparent. However, if it is merely an accusation, the funeral prayer is performed for him; because the original ruling is that the funeral prayer is obligatory for a Muslim deceased, and an obligatory act is not abandoned due to doubt.
A: The funeral prayer is not performed for him; because Allah the Exalted said:
And do not pray [the funeral prayer, O Muhammad], over any of them who has died - ever
وَلا تُصَلِّ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ مَاتَ أَبَدًا
