Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei (may Allah protect him):
If they are not hostile or at war with Islam and Muslims, then there is no harm in that.

Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may Allah protect him):
It is permissible for a Muslim to pray for them to alleviate their punishment and to perform good deeds on their behalf to lessen their suffering. It is also valid to recite Al-Fatiha and dedicate its reward to them for the purpose of alleviating their suffering, not with the intention of seeking forgiveness from Allah for them.
