More than 100 Muslim leaders across Britain have joined forces to denounce the actions of the three London Bridge attackers by declaring that they will refuse to perform funeral prayers for them. We abhor this killing and atrocity.”The religious leaders’ statement was released through the Muslim Council of Britain. Dudhwala said more religious leaders have pledged to support their decision since the announcement, bringing the number closer to 200. “The funeral prayer is a very important prayer,” said Qari Asim, a senior imam at Makkah Mosque in the city of Leeds. We will not be performing the funeral prayer, and as a result, we will not be asking for forgiveness.
