The Ruling on Excessive Cursing and the Warning Against It

Question:
Abu 'Abd al-Majid is with us on the line. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. May Allah keep you safe. May Allah give you life, please go ahead. My question to the Honorable Shaykh is about people who curse a lot, or those who curse, meaning they have become widespread in these recent times to the extent that a brother might curse his brother, or a companion might curse his companion. And if you ask him why he cursed this person, he intends, he says he intends, the Shaytan, or he intends something else, and he was cursing him directly. So what is the Shaykh's advice to some of these people? And peace be upon you? Thank you.

Answer:
This is an ugly word, and it is the word of cursing, because cursing means expulsion and distance from the mercy of Allah. So you are calling upon Allah to distance the one you are cursing from His mercy. And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: So the Muslim should purify his tongue from cursing and stay away from it, and not joke with it. Some people joke with this among themselves, and this is a great error. And this is an ugly word that must not come on the tongue of a Muslim, and one should not curse except the one whom Allah and His Messenger have cursed. Yes.
