The Ruling on Cursing the Jews and Christians
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, some people say, "Do not curse the living Jews and Christians, but say, 'May the curse of Allah be upon the dead Jews and Christians,' because they died upon that, whereas the living are not to be cursed."
Answer:
They are cursed in general, as for individuals, this is known among the people of knowledge. There is a disagreement; they agreed that it is permissible to curse them in general, and to say, "May the curse of Allah be upon the Jews," just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "May the curse of Allah be upon the Christians." But as for a specific Christian, so-and-so, this is a point of disagreement among the scholars: is it permissible to curse a specific person or not? So, is the one who says this an ignorant person who does not know the knowledge, or is he a deceiver? Yes.
