Is the funeral prayer performed for the children of polytheists who die?

Question:
Are the children of polytheists prayed over when they die?

Answer:
No, in this world they are subject to the rulings of their people, and the funeral prayer is not performed for them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The funeral prayer is not performed for them in this world. They are subject to the rulings of their people in this world; if they were killed, meaning if their people were attacked in their homes at night and their children died, they follow their people. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: They are with them in the rulings of this world. However, in the rulings of the Hereafter, they are saved if they have not reached the age of accountability.
