Prohibition of Cursing the Wind
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. Some people say, Honorable Shaykh, when the wind blows, they curse the wind. What is the ruling on that? May you be rewarded.
Answer:
This is a sin, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited cursing the wind. The wind is subjected to the command of Allah. The directing of the winds, the turning of the winds, is by the command of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). So it is commanded, and the one who curses it is actually cursing Allah who subjected it and brought it into existence. So this is a matter that is not permissible. And the one who does that must repent to Allah, seek His forgiveness, and not return to such a thing. Yes.
