Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We return to the questions, may Allah bless you. This person says: My wife has a habit of cursing and abusing her children and making du'a against them, sometimes with words and sometimes with hitting, for every small or large word. So what is your guidance for her? May Allah bless you.
Answer:
She should be patient, improve her character, and be gentle with her children, and she will have a great reward for that. As for making du'a against her children, it is not permissible. Even if she is angry, she should not make du'a against her children, because it may coincide with a time when du'a is answered, so her du'a against them may be answered and she will regret it. A hadith has come regarding the prohibition of making du'a against one’s children lest it coincide with a time when du'a is answered. Yes.
