The Ruling on Cursing the Wind

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Shaykh, on some days there is a lot of dust and strong winds. What is the ruling on cursing these days? The dust or the wind?

Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade cursing the wind, because the wind is by the command of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Whoever curses it has cursed its Lord and its Manager. Therefore, it is not permissible to curse the wind. Rather, one should make du'a' (supplication) as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do when the wind came. He would supplicate that Allah would provide him with its good and protect him from its harm. Yes.
