2008. It was narrated that 'Alī said: "I said to the Prophet ﷺ: 'Your paternal uncle, the old misguided man has died. Who will bury him?' He said: 'Go and bury your father, then do not do anything until you come to me.' So I buried him then I came, and he told me to perform Ghusl and he prayed for me, and he mentioned a supplication that I do not remember." (Hasan)

Commentary
"A disbelieving relative shall also be buried, particularly so when the deceased is someone's father, then he would be buried respectfully. (And bear them company in this world's life with kindness - 31:15). However, the enshrouding and the burial according to the Sunnah, would be conducted for Muslims only. Moreover, the grave of an unbeliever should be apart in a place farther than the graves of the Muslims.
