Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) was rebuked by his Lord when he supplicated against certain Arab tribes, but it is not reported that he was rebuked when he supplicated against Mudar. What is the wisdom behind that?
Answer:
The specific point is that his Lord rebuked him when he named specific individuals, such as so-and-so and so-and-so. He named specific people. As for supplicating against a tribe, or a clan, or a harmful entity, or a harmful state, no, there is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
