The question

Is it permissible to supplicate against one's father with these supplications when he wrongs: "O Allah, suffice me against the evil of my father however You will. O Allah, I place You in his throat, and I seek refuge in You from his evil. O Allah, if my father intends ill for me, then turn his plot back upon him. O Allah, avert from me the harm and injustice of my father. O Allah, grant me a mighty and powerful victory over my father," and is it better to abandon these supplications and suffice with supplicating for his forgiveness and guidance, or is there no harm in doing both together?

The answer

There is no harm in supplicating that Allah protect you from the evil of a person. However, it is not permissible to supplicate against him that the harm he caused rebound upon him. It is better to advise him, clarify the truth to him with wisdom and good counsel, and supplicate for his guidance.
