Supplication against one with whom there is a dispute over worldly matters

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a dispute arises between me and a Muslim over a matter of this world, and I supplicate against him, is this considered transgression in supplication?

Answer:
It depends on what he deserves. If he wronged you, it is permissible for you to supplicate against him to the extent of the wrong he did you, whether in matters of this world or otherwise. But if he did not wrong you, this is not permissible. Yes.
