Attending The Funeral Of A Non-Muslim Friend
Sir, is it permissible for us to attend the funeral of a non-Muslim friend and pray for him to rest in peace in the afterlife? Is this permissible, sir?

Yes, you can participate in it and pray for him. No one knows; he may have some considerable excuse for his mistaken beliefs.

So that’s how it is I think it’s because we know she/he’s not Muslim that we’re not supposed to pray for her after she passes away.

Excuse me, sir, I’d like to ask about this again. I asked you before about attending the funeral of a non-Muslim friend, and you said it was permissible.
But I’ve been wondering: if my friend is someone who worships idols—such as a Hindu, a Buddhist, or a Japanese friend who follows Shinto—is it still permissible to pray for them and attend their funeral?

Participating in a funeral is a social activity. It is meant to console the deceased’s grieving relatives, but Muslims do not participate in funeral rituals if they are polytheistic.
As for dua, we do it for everyone and leave judgment to God.
See the dua of Ibrahim
رَبِّ إِنَّهُنَّ أَضْلَلْنَ كَثِيرًا مِّنَ النَّاسِ ۖ فَمَن تَبِعَنِي فَإِنَّهُ مِنِّي ۖ وَمَنْ عَصَانِي فَإِنَّكَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ
