Q:
I have a paternal uncle who is fifty years old, and has been mentally retarded since childhood. He neither performs Salah (Prayer) nor observes Sawm (Fast), and can understand nothing. My question, may Allah reward you, is: Should we offer Janazah (Funeral) Prayer over him or not?
A:
This mentally retarded person is considered a Muslim. Thus, Janazah Prayer should be offered over him upon his death. (Part No. 7; Page No. 260) He also should be buried in the Muslim graveyards.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
