You stated that it is not permissible to curse a specific individual, so how is the answer to his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): "May Allah curse the one who slaughters for other than Allah, may Allah curse the one who curses his parents

The questioner : He says:The questioner : You mentioned that it is not permissible to curse a specific individual, even though the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed those who are Muslim, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Four? Did he gather them?
The Shaykh : It is said: As for the one who slaughters for other than Allah, he is a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah). As for the one who curses his parents, he is not a mushrik, but he is one who commits a major sin. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) was askedSahih Ibn Hibban 6:106, and that is because it is not conceivable that a person would say to his father, "May Allah curse you," or say to his mother, "May Allah curse you." Rather, he curses the man's father, and the man takes revenge by cursing his own father. For example, one might say, "May Allah curse your father," and the other would say, "No, may Allah curse your father," and so on.
Sahih Muslim 1978b Sheltering an innovator means that a person commits an innovation in Islam, and you shelter him, support him, and defend him.
Sahih Muslim 1978a The landmarks of the land means the markers that separate between neighbors. If a person alters them, moves them forward, and takes in land that does not belong to him, then he is cursed by the tongue of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
He asks, what is the answer to this?
The answer to that is: We say that cursing is of two types: cursing a specific individual by name, and cursing a specific individual by description. Cursing a specific individual by name is not permissible except for one who died upon disbelief. Cursing a specific individual by description is permissible. So his sayingSahih Muslim 1978b is this: Is this a specific individual by name or by description? It is by description: the one who curses his parents. Therefore, it is permissible to say: "May Allah curse the one who curses his parents," "May Allah curse the oppressors," "May Allah curse the liars," and the like. So there is a difference between cursing a specific individual by name and cursing a specific individual by description.
The questioner : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
May Allah reward the honorable Shaykh with the best reward. These are some of the questions.
May Allah curse the one who slaughters for other than Allah, may Allah curse the one who curses his parents, may Allah curse the one who alters the landmarks of the land, may Allah curse the one who shelters an innovator
لعن الله من ذبح لغير الله، لعن الله من لعن والديه، لعن الله من غيّر منار الأرض، لعن الله من آوى محدثاThe Shaykh : It is said: As for the one who slaughters for other than Allah, he is a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah). As for the one who curses his parents, he is not a mushrik, but he is one who commits a major sin. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked
How does a man curse his parents? He said: He insults the man's father, so he insults his own father, and he insults his mother, so he insults his own mother
كيف يلعن الرجل والديه؟ قال: يسبّ أبا الرّجل فيسبّ أباه، ويسبّ أمّه فيسبّ أمّهcursed him who accommodated an innovator
لعن الله من آوى محدثاAllah cursed him who changed the minarets (the boundary lines) of the land.
لعن الله من غيَّر منار الأرضHe asks, what is the answer to this?
The answer to that is: We say that cursing is of two types: cursing a specific individual by name, and cursing a specific individual by description. Cursing a specific individual by name is not permissible except for one who died upon disbelief. Cursing a specific individual by description is permissible. So his saying
Allah cursed him who cursed his parents
لعن الله من لعن والديهThe questioner : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
May Allah reward the honorable Shaykh with the best reward. These are some of the questions.
