Summary
Praying for worldly well-being such as health, children and wealth for a non-Muslim is permitted, as long as the person is not among those hostile to Islam. Prayers reserved for believers, such as God's mercy and blessings, are not allowed for them. The ruling also recommends praying that they be granted guidance, as a wise and compassionate approach to dawah.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Mendoakan kebaikan untuk non Muslim seperti mendapat kesejahteraan kesihatan, anak, harta adalah dibolehkan selagimana non Muslim tersebut bukan dari kalangan mereka yang bermusuh dengan Islam.
