Praying for dead non-Muslims for forgiveness?

[FEMTO]

Salaam

Ok I just read this,

http://www.sunnipath.com/resources/Questions/QA00000694.aspx

and got me thinking if it is considered Haram to ask for forgiveness for non-Muslims after they have died then will I go to hellfire if I ask for forgiveness?

And what are the opinions of other madhabbs concerning this?

[Muawiyah]

When someone knows that Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala has said that He will never forgive the one who dies on Kufr and He has forbidden the Muslims from asking for forgiveness for them, why would he still want to ask Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala to forgive them?

There was adifference between the question asked and the answer given. The answer given concerned Kuffar that are alive, while the question referred to dead kuffar. :rolleyes:
