The questioner : If a person who abandons prayer out of laziness dies, is it permissible for us to walk behind his funeral procession and pray over him?
The Shaykh : This varies depending on the person. If he is one of the scholars, a role model, and a righteous person, then one does not walk behind him. As for the general Muslims, they walk behind him. Is the answer clear?
