Question:
What is the ruling on praying over a man who killed himself by committing suicide?

Answer:
Answer: He should be prayed over because he is a Muslim; however, the people of virtue should not pray over him as a deterrent for him and those like him. As for the rest of the Muslims, they should pray over him, and it is not permissible to leave him without a funeral prayer because he is a Muslim, even if he committed a major sin, but he is a Muslim.
