Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
With your permission, this is the last question. A questioner asks: What is the greatest supplication against an oppressor during the trials of the Ka'bah? Is it answered or not? And what is the greatest supplication against an oppressor?
Answer:
It is not reported that one should supplicate against an oppressor at the Ka'bah or at the Black Stone; this is not reported. However, it is permissible for him to supplicate against an oppressor in any place, and his supplication is answered. But it is better that he not supplicate against him; it is better that he be patient and seek reward from Allah the Exalted, and be patient. If he forgives the one who wronged him, that is a good thing. If he forgives him and pardons him, that is better and more excellent. And if he wants to supplicate, he supplicates against him. If he is certain that the person is an oppressor to him, he supplicates against him in any place. Yes.
