The Ruling on Cursing and Its Effect on the Marital Bond

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I tell you this. I ate salt. Regarding the matter of cursing, may Allah keep you safe, there are people who call the restrooms and the filth descends upon the houses of Allah and the places where people pray, and then, meaning, the Noble Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) was present. That cursing is expulsion and distance from the mercy of Allah, as he did when he said to the woman who cursed her camel, "Leave her, for she is cursed," or something similar to that.

Answer:
This is, according to the scholars, a matter of deterrence, even though the woman exaggerated. So the scholars transferred it from the category of deterrence, and even if it did not indicate the ownership of its owner, it remains under the ownership of its owner, but he distanced her from his army as a matter of deterrence and warning against such a matter. However, according to the people of knowledge, its ownership remains with its owner, and he takes it after that. And so it is with the marital bond: the wife remains, and the marriage is not invalidated by cursing. But the husband must repent if he cursed, and the wife must repent if she cursed, and they should be lenient with each other. This is the well-known position among the people of knowledge.
