Is it permissible to supplicate against the Jews and Christians in general?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. A questioner says: There are those who hold that one should not supplicate against the Jews and Christians on the grounds that they dominate us. He asks: Why do we single out the Jews and Christians for supplication against them? Rather, we should supplicate against disbelievers in general without singling them out. Is this statement correct?

Answer:
One supplicates against the Jews and Christians who are aggressors. One supplicates against those who are aggressors and those who harm Muslims. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated against specific disbelievers when they aggressed against Muslims. As for the Jews and Christians in general, one does not supplicate against them as a whole, but rather one supplicates against those among them who aggress against Muslims and seek to change the religion of Islam and replace it with the religion of disbelief. One supplicates against such a person to ward off his evil. Yes.
