Question:
Does the phrase "May your hand be struck" or "May your mother be bereaved" fall under the category of cursing and other things that people put on their tongues?

Answer:
Cursing? No, cursing is not permissible, may Allah protect us from it. Cursing a believer—the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Cursing a believer is like killing him." Is cursing not permissible because it is ugly speech? Yes.
