Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on the statement that it is not permissible to curse the Jews and the Christians?
Answer:
Allah has cursed them, and He has cursed them. However, if a person occupies himself with cursing the Jews and the Christians, this does not constitute worship of Allah; cursing them is sufficient. Unless it is for a reason where you want to warn against the actions of the Jews, saying, "May the curse of Allah be upon the Jews, they did such and such." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "May the curse of Allah be upon the Jews and the Christians who took the graves of their prophets as mosques." So if the curse is tied to one of their evil deeds, there is no harm in that. Yes.
