What is the ruling on shrouding, praying over, and burying in Muslim cemeteries a Muslim man who died while not praying?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy.

The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.

The questioner : The question consists of two parts. The first part: A Muslim man who does not pray and dies in that state—should he be shrouded by Muslims, buried in Muslim cemeteries, and prayed over, or not?

The Shaykh : He is buried in Muslim cemeteries and a group of people pray over him. The imams who are followed do not pray over him.

The questioner: Yes, may Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : And beware of that.

The questioner : The second part.

The Shaykh : There is no second part; it is just one question.
