Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Regarding the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): “May Allah curse…”Sunan Abi Dawud 4530Sahih (Al-Albani) Can it be derived from this hadith that it is permissible to curse the Khawarij who introduced the innovation of rebelling against the rulers of the Muslims, and who declare people disbelievers and commit acts of open sinfulness? And can it also be derived from it that it is permissible to curse the Rafidah, the secularists, and others who have introduced an innovation?
Answer:
There is a difference between cursing a general category and cursing a specific individual. Cursing the general category of criminals, disbelievers, liars, and oppressors is mentioned in the Qur'an and in the Sunnah. Cursing specific groups of those who commit major sins is also mentioned, as Ibn al-Qayyim stated in *Al-Jawab al-Kafi*. Therefore, cursing a general category is not the same as cursing individuals.
Cursing a general category applies to those for whom there is evidence in the Qur'an or the Sunnah to curse them. They are cursed:[Al-A'raf 7:44], [Al-Baqarah 2:89] As for cursing a specific individual, this is the point of disagreement among scholars, because one does not know if he might repent, or if he has already repented. You do not know about his end, so you fear for him, but you do not issue a curse against him when you do not know how his life will end. Yes.

Cursing a general category applies to those for whom there is evidence in the Qur'an or the Sunnah to curse them. They are cursed:
The curse of Allah shall be upon the wrongdoers."
لَّعْنَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَى الظَّالِمِينَso the curse of Allah will be upon the disbelievers.
فَلَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ
