Is it permissible to curse those who deserve to be cursed?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: You have told us that a believer does not resort to cursing at all, except when there is someone who deserves to be cursed. So what are the cases in which cursing is permitted?

Answer:
If there is a reason that necessitates cursing, such as the curse of Allah upon the Jews who took the graves of their prophets as mosques, then there is a reason for the curse; there is a reason for the curse of Allah upon the Jews who took the graves of their prophets as mosques. Allah has cursed the one who slaughters for other than Allah, and Allah has cursed the one who shelters an innovator. If the reason is mentioned, then cursing is permissible, but without a reason, it is not permissible. Yes.
