You stated that it is not permissible to curse a specific person, so how do you explain the hadith: "If you see them, curse them, for they are cursed," regarding women who display their adornment?

The questioner : He says:The questioner : Your Eminence mentioned the prohibition of cursing a Muslim.

The Shaykh : No, not a Muslim, not a specific person, even if he is a disbeliever.

The questioner : A specific person? So how do we explain this hadith regarding the women who are clothed yet naked: .

The Shaykh : Yes. There is a difference between specifying by description and specifying by identity. Specifying by description is fine; that is, there is no harm in saying: "O Allah, curse the aggressors, O Allah, curse the disbelievers, O Allah, curse the oppressors." This is permissible. But to specify and say, "Curse so-and-so," that is not permissible. As for the women who are clothed yet naked, cursing them means: if you see them, say, "O Allah, curse the women who are clothed yet naked." This is the intended meaning of the hadith: "O Allah, curse the women who are clothed yet naked." But to say it about a specific woman, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) does not intend that. Because if Allah forbade him from cursing Abu Jahl and his like among the leaders of disbelief, and their disbelief is greater than that of the women who are clothed yet naked, how would he permit cursing the women who are clothed yet naked by specifying them? But the meaning of the hadith is , meaning: if you see women in this state, say, "O Allah, curse the women who are clothed yet naked." Yes.
