The Ruling on Cursing the Car or the Neighbor

Question:
This questioner, 'Abd al-Rahman al-Dahim, says: Honorable Shaykh Salih (may Allah preserve him), we observe in this time that some of those who bear the marks of goodness frequently curse the car, the neighbor, or the son. Please tell us about this question, and is there a word you can clarify in it regarding the gravity of this matter?

Answer:
Cursing is an ugly word. It is not permissible to utter it except against those who deserve it, namely disbelievers and hypocrites. As for the believer, it is not permissible to curse him. It is not permissible to curse an animal, a car, a dwelling, or places; it is not permissible to curse them. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: So, if a person utters a curse without a legitimate religious reason, it indicates a deficiency in his faith, and it is a harm to the one being cursed. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: meaning in terms of sin. Therefore, it is not permissible to curse one’s Muslim brother, or to curse the car which is his means of transport and his property. It is not permissible to curse anything except what Allah and His Messenger have cursed. Yes.
