Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, for one who is known for his disbelief and hostility toward Muslims and their torture, is it permissible to supplicate for his guidance?
Answer:
Yes, yes, guidance. No one is prevented from seeking it, even for the most arrogant of people. Did not Musa (peace be upon him) come to Pharaoh, who said, "I am your supreme lord," and call him, saying, "Shall I guide you to your Lord so that you may fear Him?" So there is no harm in supplicating for the guidance of every disbeliever.
And the one whose disbelief and harm are severe is in greater need of being supplicated for, that Allah guide him and restrain his evil from the Muslims. It is not impossible for Allah to guide the tyrant, the atheist, and the disbeliever. Allah is capable of all things. This is not impossible for Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. Ah.
And that he submits and Allah guides him is more beloved to us than that he continues in his hostility and dies upon disbelief. Yes.
