Pakistani celebrities attacked for mourning Hindu actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s demise
Pakistani celebrities who mourned the death of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput were attacked by their fellow countrymen for mourning death of a ‘kaafir’ (non-believer). Pakistani cricketer Shan Masood, who took to Twitter to express his grief over Rajput’s passing was abused for wishing peace upon death of a ‘kaafir’ who committed suicide.
RIP, this is beyond sad. High time our cultures should emphasise on mental health and well being.

When Prophet Muhammad (SAW)started invoking on the death of Abu Talib a prohibition was sent by Almighty, because he didn't uttered the Kalima e Shahadat. Remember he was the Most caring man and Uncle of Prophet .Here died a Kafir by suicide and people started to wish him peace.

He was told not to pray for peace for the departed soul who is not a Muslim.

He was also accused of being a ‘liberal’ for mourning death of a Hindu.
Similarly, Pakistani actress Mahira Khan, who has also acted in Bollywood films, was attacked for mourning over Rajput’s suicide. Another Twitter user explained how suicide is ‘haram’ and anyway a ‘kaafir’ cannot go to heaven.
One person even gave a suggestion to Mahira that it is good to show humanity but don’t forget religion for ‘kuffars’ (kaafirs).
Khudsozi karny waly ko mout haram ha pher kafir k lia jannat ha hi nhi
