Is it permissible to pray over a deceased person who used to curse people with bad words?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Praying over the deceased is a communal obligation (fard kifaya) for every Muslim, even if they were a transgressor (fasiq). Prayer, supplication, and seeking forgiveness are prohibited only for polytheists.
