A man who kills himself and a woman who dies in childbirth from zina: is the funeral prayer performed for them?

Abu al-Zubayr said: I asked Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) about a woman who dies in the postnatal bleeding (nifas) of a birth that came from sin: is the funeral prayer to be offered over her? He said: "Offer the funeral prayer over everyone who affirms la ilaha illallah (there is no god but Allah)."

It is narrated from Abu al-Nu'man that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) offered the funeral prayer over a child born of fornication and over his mother, who had died in her postnatal bleeding (nifas).

Abu Ghalib said: I asked Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him): If a man drinks wine and then dies, is the funeral prayer to be offered over him? He said: "Yes. Perhaps once, while lying on his bed, he said la ilaha illallah (there is no god but Allah), and he may be forgiven because of it."

Ibrahim said: The one who kills himself, the woman who dies in postnatal bleeding (nifas) from a birth caused by fornication, and the man who dies while drinking wine: the funeral prayer is to be offered over all of them.

Al-Zibriqan al-Sarraj said: Abu Wa'il led the funeral prayer over a woman. I said: "This woman was associated with wrongdoing." He said: "My son, offer the funeral prayer over whoever prayed facing the qiblah (that is, was a Muslim)."

Ata said: "Offer the funeral prayer over whoever prayed facing your qiblah (whatever he may be like)."

Ibn Sirin said: I do not know of anyone among the people of knowledge and the Successors (Tabi'in) who abandoned the funeral prayer over anyone of the people of the qiblah, considering it a sin (to offer it).

Asim said: I asked al-Hasan: "My neighbour, who was one of the Khawarij, has died. Shall I attend his funeral?" He said: "Did he rebel against the Muslims?" I said: "No." He said: "Then attend his funeral, for deeds weigh more than opinions."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man among the Companions of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) received a wound which pained him greatly. He crawled to the edge of his sword and killed himself with its blade, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not offer the funeral prayer over him.

Abu Ja'far said: I leave the funeral prayer over him only as a discipline for him.

Imran said: I asked Ibrahim al-Nakha'i: "A man has committed suicide; is the funeral prayer to be offered over him?" He said: "Yes, the funeral prayer is a sunnah."
