The answer

It is permissible for the oppressed to supplicate against the oppressor in kind, without transgression, based on His (Allah's) saying: "And if you punish [an enemy], then punish with an equivalent of that with which you were afflicted." Some scholars are of the opinion that it is better not to supplicate against the oppressor unless his oppression is widespread; in this case, it is preferable to supplicate against him so that Allah may remove his evil from the Ummah.
