Is the supplication of the oppressed answered, even if he is a disbeliever?

The questioner : He says:The questioner : Your Eminence, is the supplication of the oppressed answered if he is a disbeliever?

The Shaykh : Yes, the supplication of the oppressed is answered, even if he is a disbeliever. This is because answering the supplication of the oppressed falls under the category of establishing justice, and Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) is a just Judge. For this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Mu'adh ibn Jabal when he sent him to Yemen and ordered him to collect zakah: So if a disbeliever is wronged by a person, even if the wrongdoer is a Muslim, and this disbeliever supplicates against him for what corresponds to his injustice, then Allah the Exalted will answer this supplication. This is because it falls under the category of establishing justice, and Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) is a just Judge.
