Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a funeral is brought to the imam, and one of the followers knows that the deceased did not pray at all; is it permissible in the Shari'ah to inform the imam?
Answer:
It appears that he should not pray over him if he knows that, otherwise his testimony might not be accepted on its own. However, if he refrains from praying over him, that is what he should do, if he knows that he did not pray.
