The answer

It is permissible for a Muslim to supplicate against an oppressor who is also a Muslim. However, forgiveness and pardon are better, for "whoever pardons and makes reconciliation – his reward is due from Allah." It is not permissible to supplicate for a sin or severing ties of kinship, nor to transgress in supplication by asking for something greater than the offense or for a sin, based on His (Allah's) saying: "Then whoever has transgressed against you, then transgress against him in like manner as he has transgressed against you."
