Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: What is the ruling on cursing and insulting the dead? And does this hurt them or have an effect on them?

Answer:
Without a doubt, this is not permissible. It is not permissible to curse and insult a person, even if he is alive; this is not permissible, and the dead are even more so. And it came in the hadith:

Sunan an-Nasa'i 1936Sahih (Darussalam)
They have passed on. Yes.
