The Difference Between Cursing a Category and a Specific Person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
It is permissible to curse a specific person. Is this correct? May Allah reward you for your good work?
The Shaykh:
This is not generalized. Yes, the one who commits a lie. I mean, for example, the one who harms the polytheists is cursed, the one who does such and such, the category of people who do this. As for the specific person, so-and-so ibn so-and-so left these people. This is better, I mean the first one. So the one who does such and such is advised.
