Ruling of those who lead the funeral prayer of Mirzais and Shias
Question: What do religious scholars says about the issue that in some districts of the Muslims, one or two houses belong to Mirzais and non-religious Shias, when one of them dies, the Imam of the Masjid leads the funeral prayer for his children and elders. And Muslims of the district stand behind the Imam and pray the funeral prayer. Imam's theory is only benificiary favours . If the funeral stops, then the Mirzais and Shia's benificiary favours also stop. The question is whether this action of Imam and the Muslims is right for the or should they avoid this action and repent?
Answer: Mirzai, who rejects the exact issue of the end of Prophethood, which is one of the requirements of religion. Also those Shias who deny the Qur'anic texts. For example, those who convinced of the Sayydah Ayesha Siddiqa's (رضی اللہ عنہا) Ufaq, they are out of Islam and it is not permissible to pray and take part in their funeral.
Especially when they are committing this heinous act due to worldly benifits and greed. It is obligatory to repent those Imam and who participate in the funeral. If Imam does not repent then seclude him from Imamat.
