Is it considered a sin to pray for the death of a mentally ill brother who harms his elderly parents?

You may not pray for the death of your brother, because he is exempt from religious obligations and not held accountable for his actions toward your parents. It is not permissible for a person to pray against himself, his children, or his wealth. You may, however, pray for mercy upon him.
