The Ruling on Cursing Oneself and One’s Children
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on those who curse themselves, their brothers, and their children with evil, and is there any advice for them?
Answer:
It is not permissible for a person to curse himself or his children, lest he happen to be in a time when supplication is answered and his curse is granted, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade that. Rather, he should supplicate for himself, his children, and his Muslim brothers with good, and anger should not take hold of him so that he curses himself, his children, or his Muslim brothers. This is not befitting for him, except in the case of one who has been wronged; it is permissible for the wronged person to curse his wrongdoer. As for a person who has not wronged you, it is not permissible for you to curse him. Yes.
