The Ruling on Praying the Funeral Prayer for a Muslim Who Was Executed in Retaliation

Our brother is also asking about the one who is sentenced to death by retaliation; is the funeral prayer performed for him or not?
Answer: Yes, the funeral prayer is performed for him. If he is a Muslim, the funeral prayer is performed for him, even if he committed this crime. Retaliation serves as an expiation. Likewise, if a man commits unlawful sexual intercourse while married, or a woman commits unlawful sexual intercourse while married, and is executed by stoning... the funeral prayer is performed for him, whether the evidence was established by witnesses or by confession. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed the funeral prayer for Ma'iz, who committed unlawful sexual intercourse while married. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that he be stoned, and then he prayed the funeral prayer for him. He also prayed the funeral prayer for the woman of al-Ghamid (peace and blessings be upon him), who committed unlawful sexual intercourse while married. He ordered that she be stoned, and he prayed the funeral prayer for her (peace and blessings be upon him). This is because their confession and repentance hold a great status. Repentance is that by which Allah erases sins, and the hudud punishment is also an additional cause of expiation.
In conclusion: the one who is killed lawfully and is a Muslim has the funeral prayer performed for him. Retaliation is a right, and establishing the hudud punishments is a right, so the funeral prayer is performed for them. Likewise, if a person is killed unjustly, it is even more so that the funeral prayer is performed for him. Yes.
