The ruling on supplicating against a disobedient Muslim

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some poets declare certain existing evils to be disbelief, and they see women as providing wonders,

Answer:
a Muslim? A sinner, and it drives him to not repent. However, if you use a pleasant, affectionate phrase that includes supplication to Allah and seeking His favor, that is a cause for guidance. But if you supplicate against him, that means you have driven him away. Also, it is not permissible to supplicate against a Muslim, even if he is a sinner. Rather, you supplicate for him for repentance and returning to the truth, and you supplicate for him for guidance.
