A prayer for a non-Muslim

Question

Can we pray for non-Muslims after their death?

Answer

We can pray for Hidayah (guidance) for all non-Muslims whilst they are alive. However after their death the matter lies with Allah and Allah says in the Quaran in many places that those who die in the state of Kufr will end up in Jhannham (Hell). Allah knows best.
