The Ruling on Cursing Allah, the Messenger, and the Religion in a State of Anger
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
In his other question, he says: I am afflicted with possession by jinn due to sorcery. My question is: when I get agitated and angry, words come to my mind that I utter, but I restrain myself and stop, and I turn away from them. However, unfortunately, sometimes divorce or cursing Allah, His Messenger, and the religion comes out of my mouth. I seek Allah's forgiveness and repent to Him, and Allah knows that I do not intend it. Have I committed disbelief in Allah? And what should I do?
The Shaykh:
Repentance erases what came before it. So if you repent to Allah and do not return to such a thing, then you are, if Allah wills, in a good state.[Ali 'Imran 3:135-136] to the end of the verse. Yes.
The questioner:
And as for the one who curses Allah the Exalted, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the religion, the Qur'an, or any part of that, and excuses himself by saying he was angry, is he excused for that?
The Shaykh:
He is not excused for that if he loses his consciousness and does not know what he is saying; in that case, he is not held accountable. But if he is conscious and knows what he is saying, it is not permissible for him to do this. It is one of the major sins to curse Allah and His Messenger and the religion. Yes.

May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh

(135) And those who, when they commit an immorality or wrong themselves [by transgression], remember Allah and seek forgiveness for their sins - and who can forgive sins except Allah? - and [who] do not persist in what they have done while they know. (136) Those - their reward is forgiveness from their Lord
وَالَّذِينَ إِذَا فَعَلُوا فَاحِشَةً أَوْ ظَلَمُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ ذَكَرُوا اللَّهَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا لِذُنُوبِهِمْ وَمَن يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَلَمْ يُصِرُّوا عَلَىٰ مَا فَعَلُوا وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ أُولَٰئِكَ جَزَاؤُهُم مَّغْفِرَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِمْThe questioner:
