The Ruling on Cursing an Animal, a Dwelling, or Time
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In his penultimate question, he says: What is your view on cursing an animal, with the evidence for it? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
It is not permissible to curse an animal, nor a dwelling, nor time. A believer does not curse except one who deserves the curse, except one who deserves the curse; otherwise, the Muslim guards his tongue from cursing. It is not permissible to curse animals, because a woman was traveling with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on one of his journeys on a she-camel of hers, and she cursed it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Take what is on her and leave her alone; a cursed she-camel will not accompany us.” The narrator said, “It is as if I am looking at her, her milk flowing, and no one touches her.” So it is not permissible to curse animals. Yes.
