Is it a mitzvah,permissible, forbidden to daven for a Jewish wicked person to die? If the wicked person is someone who is trying convert Jews to Christianity would that make a difference? I am looking for some sources from the Talmud, Rishonim and/or Achronim.

2Why not pray for him to change his ways, or be ineffective in his efforts, as per B'rurya's response to R. Meir (Berakhot 10b) מאי דעתך? - משום דכתיב: יתמו חטאים, מי כתיב חוטאים? חטאים כתיב! ועוד, שפיל לסיפיה דקרא: ורשעים עוד אינם, כיון דיתמו חטאים - ורשעים עוד אינם? אלא, בעי רחמי עלויהו דלהדרו בתשובה - ורשעים עוד אינם. בעא רחמי עלויהו והדרו בתשובה– mevaqeshJan 3, 2017 at 1:08
