Is it considered a contradiction or an transgression in supplication for an oppressed person to combine in his supplication invoking illness and hardship upon the oppressors, while at the same time supplicating for their health, provision, and guidance?
Islamic law encourages pardoning wrongdoers and promises a great reward for it, especially concerning relatives, as Allah Almighty says: "And let them pardon and overlook. Would you not like that Allah should forgive you?" And He says: "So whoever pardons and makes reconciliation - his reward is due from Allah." Islamic law permits the wronged person to supplicate against the oppressor to the extent of the injustice, without transgression. However, it is better to abandon that and persist in supplicating for good for them and for the Muslims. As for combining supplication for them and against them at the same time, it is an aggression in supplication and is impermissible due to its inherent contradiction.
