Cursing the Murderer and His Family
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Umm Abdullah says: One of my brothers' sons killed his cousin. Is it permissible for me to supplicate against my brother and his son?
Answer:
You should be patient and not supplicate against them. There is something that suffices in place of supplicating against them, which is establishing retaliation (qisas) if its conditions are met. Forgiveness is better; forgiving the killer is better, and "your forgiveness is nearer to righteousness." Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
