Ruling on performing funeral prayer of shia
Question:
What do the scholars and muftis say about the following situation: A person recited the funeral prayer, but later found out that the deceased was a Shia. What is the ruling in this case?
Answer:
Make sure to gather information about the deceased before reciting the funeral prayer. Avoid reciting the funeral prayer for someone who holds blasphemous beliefs. If this has already happened in the past, seek forgiveness.
قال اللہ تعالىٰ: ولا تصلی على احد منهم مات ابدا ولا تقم على قبره: وقال الله تعالىٰ: ما كان للنبی والذين امنوا ان يستغفروا للمشركين: فتقول لا يصلی على الكافر ويصلی على كل مسلم مات بعد الولادة:
