The ruling on a husband cursing his children and wife, and whether it counts as divorce

Question:
Her second question is: What is the ruling on a husband cursing his children and wife, and does his cursing count as divorce?

Answer:
Cursing does not count as divorce, and it is not among the words of divorce. However, cursing is a major sin among the major sins. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: And he said: The curse from a parent is more dangerous, so one should not curse his child, but rather supplicate for him to be righteous and steadfast. He should raise him upon good; this is what he is commanded to do. As for supplicating against him and cursing him, that does not benefit anything; it is harm that returns to the parent more than to the child. Yes.
