Naming the disbelievers by name in the qunut

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said in *Majmu' al-Fatawa*: "It is recommended for the one who supplicates to make a supplication appropriate to each specific calamity when it occurs. If he names the believers for whom he is supplicating, and the warring disbelievers against whom he is supplicating, that is good." This is the end of his statement. The question is: In a situation like ours, is it permissible to specify the disbelievers by their names?

Answer:
If it results in harm by mentioning them; because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned some of the polytheists by their names, and mentioned some of the Muslims by their names for whom he made supplication. So if it does not result in harm or liability, there is no harm. But Allah knows; if you did not name them, Allah knows, (Glorified and Exalted is He).
