Question:
If a person has wronged me with a severe wrong that harmed me, is it permissible for me to supplicate against him? And is it permissible for me to forgive him, in which case I would receive a great reward?
Answer:
Yes, forgiveness is without doubt,[Ash-Shuraa 42:40], and it is better that you do not supplicate against him, but rather that you be patient and forgive him, and your reward is with Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. Yes.
