The ruling on a parent cursing his child without right
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what is your opinion regarding one who curses his child without right? Will his supplication be answered if the curse is injustice and aggression without a legitimate religious reason?
Answer:
I do not think a parent would curse his child except because the child angered him or was undutiful to him. I do not think the mercy and compassion of a parent would lead him to curse his child without right. The child is required to be good to his parent and not anger him; he is required to be dutiful to him. If Allah wills, the hostility and hatred will disappear. Yes.
