Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner asks about a matter concerning the ruler. He says: If I see oppression from the ruler, is it permissible for me to supplicate against him?
Answer:
No. It is not permissible for you to supplicate against him, because it is obligatory for you to report your grievance. It is obligatory for you to report your grievance to the competent authorities. And praise be to Allah, the Department of Inquiries is now open, and the Ministry of Justice is open and accepts objections. So you can submit a complaint to the ruler. And mention the injustice that occurred to you, if it was from the ruler. But if it was in a judgment rendered against you, there are authorities that review judgments; there are authorities that review judgments and rectify any error or defect in them. Yes.

May Allah reward you with good,
