MUSLIM WOMAN Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Q: Is it correct to write R.I.P (may he rest in peace) for a non-Muslim after his demise? What does Islam say about this? A: It is not permissible in Islam to make dua for the forgiveness of a non-Muslim who has died upon kufr. Hence one should refrain from writing (R.I.P) for non-Muslims after their demise. And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best. وَلَا تُصَلِّ عَلَىٰ أَحَدٍ مِّنْهُم مَّاتَ أَبَدًا وَلَا تَقُمْ عَلَىٰ قَبْرِهِ إِنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوا بِاللَّـهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَمَاتُوا وَهُمْ فَاسِقُونَ ﴿التوبة: ٨٤﴾ ويحرم سؤال العافية مدى الدهر أو خير الدارين ودفع شرهما أو المستحيلات العادية كنزول المائدة قيل والشرعية والحق حرمة الدعاء بالمغفرة للكافر لا لكل المؤمنين كل ذنوبهم (الدر المختار 1/ 522) Answered by: Mufti Zakaria Makada Checked & Approved: Mufti Ebrahim Salejee (Isipingo Beach) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
