The ruling on forgiving the wrongdoer when one is unable to repel his injustice

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says, "O His Eminence the Shaykh, this questioner says: Some people have wronged me, and I am unable to deal with them, yet I forgave them for the sake of Allah : Is it a condition for forgiveness that I be able to deal with them?"

Answer:
That is not a condition. If he forgave them, may Allah reward him with good; he will be rewarded even if he was not able to deal with them. If he did not forgive them, then Allah will settle the matter between him and them. If he forgave them and showed leniency, he will receive the reward for that.
