Supplicating against an unjust supervisor in the workplace
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: He is an employee at one of the companies, and his supervisor at work oppresses him and other workers. He does not give him his right, nor the rights of the other workers. We have advised him many times, but he did not accept the advice. Is it permissible for us to supplicate against him for destruction or a bad ending?
Answer:
They should refer his case to the competent authority. If they supplicate that Allah will replace him with someone else, and that Allah will guide him, that is better. They say, “O Allah, guide him,” or “replace him with someone else.” Yes.
