Salam,
Yes, it is sunnah to say "Inalillahi wa ina illaihi rajiun" (Everthing come from from God and will return to him) if somebody pass away, muslim or non muslim. Again it is a sunnah, not mandatory. You say it is good, not say it is OK.

Yes Semar is absolutely right.. Muslims use the same verse for all the death news

Actually 'inna lillah..' is not only for death news... it can be said for anything that is painful or sad or a discomfort.
When a muslim suffers (even if its a small suffering) and they say 'To Allah we belong and unto Him we return' (translation of Inna lillah) - it is like a reminder that anything painful/sad in this world is temporary... and eventually we all shall return to Allah... so fret not, its insignificant :) So yes, we can say it whenever we deem it fit. Be it on anybody's death or any suffering. BTW on a seperate note, it is also sunnah to pay respect for the dead. It is sunnah to stand up when a funeral passes by... and Prophet Muhammad even stood up for the funeral of a Jew. So yes, we can grieve for anyone... regardless of faith. However we are not supposed to ask for maghfirah of those who died in shirk. |
