It is definitely permissible. And we're encouraged and you receive an award for visiting a non Muslim mystic
and praying for their health and cure that is permissible and you will be rewarded for that.

Machu the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, although the alley authority may Allah be pleased with him to attend his father's funeral, and you all know who was Ali's Father,
