The Ruling on Cursing a Specific Disbeliever and Cursing Disbelievers in General

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: What is the ruling on cursing a specific disbeliever?

The Shaykh:
With love, and what?

The questioner:
Cursing a specific disbeliever, or cursing disbelievers in general.

The Shaykh:
There is scholarly disagreement regarding cursing a specific individual. As for cursing disbelievers in general, there is nothing wrong with it. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says:
and invoke the curse of Allah upon the liars [among us]."فَنَجْعَل لَّعْنَتَ اللَّهِ عَلَى الْكَاذِبِينَ
[Ali 'Imran 3:61]
"Indeed, the curse of Allah is upon the wrongdoers." So the curse of Allah upon disbelievers in general is mentioned in the Qur'an. As for cursing specific individuals, this is a matter of disagreement among scholars. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you
