The Ruling on Supplicating Against One Who Has Wronged You

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I have been wronged, for a person wronged me in a way that harmed me, my children, and my home. Is it permissible for me to invoke a curse upon him?

Answer:
If it is confirmed that he wronged you and you invoke a curse upon him, you have the right to do so. However, it is better that you pardon him. Allah the Exalted said:
And the retribution for an evil act is an evil one like it, but whoever pardons and makes reconciliation - his reward is [due] from Allahوَجَزَاءُ سَيِّئَةٍ سَيِّئَةٌ مِّثْلُهَا فَمَنْ عَفَا وَأَصْلَحَ فَأَجْرُهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ
[Ash-Shuraa 42:40]
. Yes.
