Contributing Towards a Christian Funeral

Q: Can a Muslim contribute financially to a Christian funeral or attend the wake keeping?

A: If the donation is towards feeding the family and guests, or towards the needs of the family, etc. it will be permissible to contribute. It will not be permissible to donate towards anything which has a religious connotation or directly connected to the funeral, e.g. the coffin, hearse, etc. It will not be permissible to attend the wake-keeping (vigil).
