Cursing a specific person among the people of major sins

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the decisive view regarding cursing a specific person among the people of major sins?
Answer:
The view that is more correct is that it is not permissible, because you do not know what their final state will be; you do not know what their final state will be. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) once invoked a curse upon some of the polytheists from the people of Makkah, so Allah revealed to him:[Ali 'Imran 3:128] And Allah granted them repentance, so they embraced Islam. Therefore, it is not permissible to curse a specific person, because you do not know what their outcome will be; perhaps they will repent to Allah the Exalted. Yes.

Not for you, [O Muhammad, but for Allah], is the decision whether He should [cut them down] or forgive them or punish them, for indeed, they are wrongdoers.
لَيْسَ لَكَ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ شَيْءٌ أَوْ يَتُوبَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَوْ يُعَذِّبَهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ ظَالِمُونَ
