Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, how does a person become one whose supplication is answered? And does this apply to the disobedient believer as well?

Answer:
This is with Allah; the one whose supplication is answered is with Allah. Allah knows, (Glorified and Exalted is He). And supplication may be answered due to dire necessity, even the supplication of a disbeliever in dire straits is answered. As for
who responds to the desperate one when he calls upon Him and removes evilيُجِيبُ الْمُضْطَرَّ إِذَا دَعَاهُ وَيَكْشِفُ السُّوءَ
[An-Naml 27:62]
and the polytheists, they call upon Allah when they are on the verge of destruction in the sea, and Allah answers them and saves them from destruction. So the one in dire straits has his supplication answered, and the one who is wronged has his supplication answered. And fear the supplication of the one who is wronged, for there is no barrier between it and Allah, even if the one who is wronged is a disbeliever, his supplication is answered against the one who wronged him.
