Allah Ta'ala says in the Noble Qur'an: “O Children of Adam! We have bestowed you with clothing to cover yourselves and as an adornment, but the clothing of piety – that is the best. That is from the signs of Allah that perhaps they will become conscious. (Surah A'raaf V.26)
It is prohibited to attend the funeral service, prayer or procession of a non-Muslim. This is an explicit command of the Noble Quran.

Hazrat Anas (RA) narrates that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: “That is the prayer of the hypocrite: he sits watching the sun until it turns pale, then he gets up and hurriedly performs four Rakats in which he only remembers Allah a little.” (Sahih Muslim, Sunanut Tirmizi, Sunan Nasai)

This is not only a deception but also a form of Tabarruj (a woman's making a wanton display of her beauty) which is contradictory to the rules of hijab and a destructive sin in the Sight of Allah.
Unduly delaying payments to a creditor has become a common practice of many people who do not regard it as wrong.
It is prohibited to spread messages or convey information without verifying its authenticity. (Surah Bani Israeel:36 and Surah Hujurat:6)
