To what extent can one be patient in the face of oppression and tribulation, especially when the oppression has led to the loss of work and livelihood, and has negatively affected the psychological and physical health of a husband suffering from chronic illnesses, while the oppressor remains in his position unpunished?

The oppressed is advised to be patient, as it is better. However, it is permissible for them to supplicate against the oppressor, and the supplication of the oppressed is answered. Allah will do justice for the oppressed against their oppressor on the Day of Judgment, where good deeds will be taken from the oppressor commensurate with the injustice, or the sins of the oppressed will be placed upon the oppressor. The oppressor may also be punished in this world; and if Allah grants them respite, He will seize them with a severe seizing.
