Question:
What is the ruling on cursing an animal?
Answer:
It is forbidden; it is not permissible to curse an animal, nor to curse anything other than an animal, such as dwellings, places, or the like. This is because a curse is an ugly word, and it is not permissible to direct it at one who does not deserve it, whether it be beasts, dwellings, places, persons, or anything else. It is an ugly word, a serious word, and a believer does not curse; rather, only good speech comes from him. Yes. May Allah reward you with good.
