Is what the spouses did—demanding the full salary, then the first wife's arbitrary divorce (ṭalāq taʿassufī), and the husband's abandonment and leaving the second wife in limbo—considered an injustice (ẓulm)? And is it permissible to supplicate against them? And what should be done, knowing that they are both حافظ للقرآن (Hāfiẓ al-Qurʾān) and their father issues fatwas to people?

Supplicating against an oppressive husband is permissible to the extent of his oppression, but it is better to refrain from it. Supplication is a form of retribution, and whoever supplicates has not been patient; rather, he has sought victory for himself. The matter can be brought before the judge to resolve the dispute.
