The Ruling on Parents Cursing Their Children

Question:
We move on to another question. This questioner says: Many fathers and mothers curse their children when they make a mistake or slip up. We ask you for a word of guidance for them on this matter, and what is the ruling on cursing one's children in this case?

Answer:
First, we advise the children to be gentle and dutiful to their parents, not to anger them, and not to provoke them into anger and cursing them. Second, we advise the parents to be gentle with their children and to have mercy on them. Even if they wrong them, the parents should pardon, forgive, and be tolerant, and they should not curse them except with good. This is because a parent's supplication is answered; a parent's supplication against his child is answered. So I fear that his curse may befall them. We advise them that if anger arises in the parents, the children should seek refuge in Allah from Shaytan until the anger passes from them. Yes.
