Ibn Bazz: It is permissible to supplicate Allah to show Mercy on a Fasiq



( Part No : 6, Page No: 395) 
It is permissible to supplicate Allah to show Mercy on a Fasiq (someone flagrantly violating Islamic law) 
Q: Is it permissible, when a Muslim who is Fasiq dies, to ask Allah to have mercy upon him? 
A: Yes, it is permissible to pray for Allah's Mercy be upon him and supplicate to Allah to forgive him. Likewise, Funeral Prayer should be performed over him if he is a Fasiq, not a Kafir (disbeliever/non­Muslim). 
Allah is the One Whose help is sought.
