The Ruling on Cursing One Who Oppresses in Wealth
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: A man wronged me and took a sum of money from me without right. I am supplicating against him in my prayers. Is the supplication in its proper place?
Answer:
My brother, if you are able to take your right by filing a lawsuit against him and demanding it, it is not permissible for you to leave your right and supplicate against him. You are the one who is at fault. Why did you not file a lawsuit against him? Perhaps you are the one who is mistaken. If the judge looks into the case, perhaps you are assuming things. So you must sue him. However, if you are unable to sue him, if he forced you and you were unable to sue him, then you may supplicate against him. But for you to pardon him and forgive him, that is better for you,[Ash-Shuraa 42:40], yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
