What is the ruling on a Muslim son participating in the washing and burial of his polytheist father who died in a state of disbelief, and what are the implications of that in Islam?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If a disbeliever dies, he is buried in a pit so that people are not harmed by him. He is not washed, shrouded, or prayed over. Whoever acts contrary to this or participates with disbelievers in their customs must repent and seek forgiveness.
