The Ruling on Cursing the Jews and the Christians

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
It was asked about something: Is it permissible to curse the Jews and the Christians, and the famous poet, both on occasion and without a specific occasion? And you have heard a detailed explanation from the Messenger of Allah regarding this?

Answer:
And what is the benefit of cursing the Jews and the Christians? They are well known for their misguidance and deviation. Also, cursing the Jews and the Christians in general may include Muslims from among them and believers from among them, who were on Islam and faith before the mission of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and they were following their prophets. So generalization in this, and cursing the Jews and the Christians in general, is not appropriate. But if the cursing is of those who came later, and there is a reason for it, you say, "May the curse of Allah be upon the Jews, they said such and such, they did such and such," mentioning the sin and the crime for which they were cursed, then that is permissible in this case. As for cursing them absolutely, without mentioning the reason, this is not permissible, and there is no benefit in it.
