Is it permissible to curse a specific woman based on the hadith (Curse them, for they are cursed)?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, if you please, regarding the hadith about the women who display their adornment
Curse them, for they are cursed العنوهنَّ فإنهنَّ ملعونات
; is it permissible to curse a specific one, meaning a woman who displays her adornment?

The Shaykh : It is permissible, on the condition that no corruption in the earth results from this cursing.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : Because the intent of cursing is education, meaning the education of the one who is cursed, reviled, or criticized. So if cursing this one who violates the Shari'ah, such as the woman who displays her adornment, or something like that, such as the oppressor, for example, if harm results from cursing him, reviling him, or insulting him ... it is not permissible.

The questioner : It is not permissible.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The Shaykh : And the meaning of this statement is that cursing the woman who displays her adornment in the Muslim society is education for her.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : As for in a permissive society, as is our society today, it is not education for her from that angle, and the cursing may strike a calamity upon a person who is right, which he may not be able to bear.

The questioner: Yes.
