The ruling on saying "the greatest punishment of Allah" in a state of anger
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And may Allah bless you. Abu Rayan says in this question: One day I said to my children when I was angry or my anger intensified, "By Allah, I will punish you with the greatest punishment of Allah," not intentionally, but due to the intensity of the anger, and I do not know how these words came to my tongue. What is upon me now, and I have repented to Allah?
Answer:
Praise be to Allah. You regretted and repented to Allah, and you expressed regret, and you also said this in a state of anger, so we hope that Allah will not hold you accountable. It is obligatory for you to guard your tongue from such expressions, and also to pardon your children and be lenient with them. Yes.
