Is the supplication of the oppressed against the oppressor answered?

The supplication of the oppressed is answered, and its specificity lies in supplicating against the oppressor, not for him. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, emphasized this by saying: "Beware of the supplication of the oppressed, for there is no barrier between it and Allah." So, the supplication of the oppressed is answered if he supplicates against his oppressor for the same degree of injustice he suffered, or less.

Nevertheless, the supplication of the oppressed for his oppressor, asking for guidance or forgiveness, is considered among the perfection of benevolence and pardon, which Allah has encouraged, as in His Almighty saying: "So whoever pardons and makes reconciliation - his reward is due from Allah." And refraining from supplicating against him is part of praiseworthy patience, like the action of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, when his people struck him, and he supplicated for their forgiveness.

In summary, the supplication of the oppressed against his oppressor is specifically answered, while his supplication for the oppressor's guidance is among the perfection of encouraged benevolence.
