Question
Recently, A Muslim in Pretoria attended the funeral of a non -Muslim relative. He went up to the coffin and even kissed the forehead of the non-Muslim deceased. Is this type of action permissible?
Answer
It is haraam to participate in the funeral and burial services of non-Muslims even if they happen to be parents. It is clear that this person's Imaan is extremely deficient. His Imaan dangles on a thread.
