Summary
A prayer asking for harm that is made in anger or under negative influence is among the prayers that are not granted, so the person need not be overly anxious about it. He is encouraged to increase repentance and seeking forgiveness, to ask for protection from harm, and to ask for good in this world and the hereafter. He should also stop praying for harm against himself, his property, his family or others. This guidance comes from the Research Unit of the Perlis State Mufti Department and is not an official Perlis fatwa decision.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Seseorang yang berdoa meminta keburukan ketika dalam suasana marah atau dipengaruhi sesuatu yang negatif, termasuk dalam kumpulan doa yang tidak akan dimustajabkan.
