Q: I have certain relatives who are non-Muslims. When they pass away, will it be permissible for me to view their corpse?
A: It is not correct for a muslim to be around the funeral rites of a non-Muslim.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
وَلَا تُصَلِّ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِّنْهُم مَّاتَ أَبَدًا وَلَا تَقُمْ عَلَى قَبْرِهِ إِنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوا بِاللَّـهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَمَاتُوا وَهُمْ فَاسِقُونَ ﴿التوبة: ٨٤﴾
