Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on cursing a specific person, such as saying: May the curse of Allah be upon so-and-so?
Answer:
One who is cursed in the Qur'an or the Sunnah is to be cursed. As for one who is not cursed in the Qur'an or the Sunnah, this is a matter of scholarly disagreement. The stronger position, and Allah knows best, is that he is not to be cursed, because you do not know how his end will be.
The presenter:
Yes, yes.
