Guidance for Mothers Regarding Supplicating Against Their Sons

Question : Hello, yes, peace be upon you. Peace be upon you. May I ask you? A mother says she supplicated against her son, asking Allah to change him, Honorable Shaykh, because this son raised his voice at his mother. The mother says she is now afraid and says, "Perhaps my supplication was answered." What is your guidance?

Answer : Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and I send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, the Seal of the Prophets and the Imam of the Righteous, and upon his family and his Companions, and those who follow them with excellence until the Day of Judgment. Our guidance is that this is a mistake: for a person to supplicate against his children or against anyone who has wronged him. Rather, what he should do is supplicate for them with righteousness and guidance. Accordingly, she should supplicate for that son with guidance, righteousness, success, and good deeds.
