Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on supplicating against a specific disbeliever who has not opposed Islam and has not committed any injustice? You are asking for clarification regarding the evidence for this, specifically concerning supplicating against a specific individual.
Answer:
This is not permissible. However, it is permissible to supplicate against disbelievers, oppressors, and the like. Supplicating against a specific individual is not permissible unless he has done something that warrants supplication against him, such as oppression, injustice, or causing harm to people. In that case, one may supplicate against him by name. If he has not done anything of the sort, one should supplicate against disbelievers in general, such as saying, "May the curse of Allah be upon the oppressors," or "May the curse of Allah be upon the polytheists and disbelievers." One supplicates against disbelievers in general.
