Supplication against the innovator and the open sinner who harms the Sunnah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: If a person harms the Sunnah and makes things difficult for its people, and he is among the people of open sinfulness or the people of innovation, is it not permissible to supplicate against him, in addition to supplicating for him, so that people are safe from his evil? Did any of the Imams of the Salaf do this?
Answer:
He supplicated against a specific person. I supplicate against a teacher; do not supplicate against him, but supplicate to Allah for him regarding his desire. As for supplicating against the people of misguidance, the people of disbelief, the people of shirk (associating partners with Allah), and the tyrants in general, there is nothing wrong with it. Supplicate against the oppressors, against the disbelievers, supplicate against the mushrikin (those who associate partners with Allah), supplicate against the misguided, supplicate against the tyrants. As for a specific person, do not supplicate against him; supplicate for the best, supplicate for guidance, supplicate for them for guidance, and for the inheritance of the truth.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
