The ruling on attending the Funerals of the Disbelievers

Question :

What is the ruling of Alláh regarding attending funerals of the disbelievers, which has become a political tradition and an agreed upon custom?

Answer:

If there are among the disbelievers those who bury their dead, it is not (allowed) for the Muslims to support or participate with or assist the disbelievers in their burial. Also, they should not be courteous to them in their funeral processions. For verily, this is not known from the Messenger of Allâh or the Rightly-Guided Caliphs. Rather, Allâh prohibited His Messenger from standing over the grave of 'Abdullah bin Ubayy bin Salul, and the reason for that was his disbelief. Allâh said:
"And never pray over any of them who has died, nor stand over

his grave. Verily they disbelieved in Allah and His Messenger and died while they were Fasiqun (wrongdoers, sinners, transgressors, etc.)."

However, if there is not anyone among them to bury their deceased, the Muslims may bury him just as the Prophet did with the (non- Muslim) people who were killed at the battle of Badr.
