Forms of Transgression in Supplication
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Regarding supplication, what is meant by transgression in supplication? And if I supplicate against someone who wronged me, or wronged me financially, is that permissible?
Answer:
Transgression in supplication has several types. One is to associate partners with Allah in supplication, supplicating to others besides Allah; this is shirk (associating partners with Allah), and may Allah protect us from it. Another is supplicating for sin or for severing family ties; this is also a form of transgression in supplication. Supplicating against someone who does not deserve such supplication is also transgression in supplication. Supplicating for something that cannot be attained, such as asking Allah to place a person in the rank of the prophets, the messengers, or the angels, is also transgression in supplication, because no one reaches the rank of the prophets and messengers. Yes.
