The Ruling on Cursing One’s Wife and Its Expiation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The second questioner says: My brother repeats the curse against his wife, and this is part of the husband’s character. Is this true? And what is the ruling on it?
Answer:
There is no doubt that this is wrong. It is not permissible to curse one’s wife, nor to curse any of the Muslims. Even cursing the medicine, the mosques, or the timing is not permissible. Cursing is a malicious word, and it is a word that has been uttered. If the one it is directed at does not deserve it, it returns to the one who said it, so it becomes a sin for him. Therefore, it is not permissible to curse any of the Muslims, especially your wife, your children, or your relatives. This is a matter that is not permissible. You must repent to Allah the Mighty and Majestic and not return to this. As for the expiation, there is no expiation for this except repentance and seeking forgiveness.
