Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to supplicate for the destruction of disbelievers in general, or is it restricted to the aggressors and oppressors among them? And is supplicating for their destruction in general, such as saying “Count them and leave none of them behind,” considered an excess in supplication?
Answer:
No, this is good. Supplicating against the disbelievers in general is good, that Allah may protect the Muslims from their evil. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says:[Hud 11:18] The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sunan an-Nasa'i 703Sahih (Darussalam) Supplicating against the disbelievers in a general manner is prescribed, and there is no harm in it. Yes.
