Is it permissible to curse a specific disbeliever? And is it permissible to curse a specific Muslim open sinner?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is it permissible to curse a disbeliever? Is it permissible to curse a specific disbeliever?
The Shaykh : It is permissible.
The questioner : It is permissible here.
The Shaykh : But why don't you follow Shaykh Saud in his method of convincing people? Why?
The questioner : How do you mean?
The Shaykh : I am asking you more than once. I asked you and you answered, and yet you remained as you are. You, is it permissible to curse the Muslim open sinner? You said yes, and did you return to that?
The questioner : By Allah, I said yes, meaning...
The Shaykh : ...O Shaykh, I am asking you, I am telling you: Did you return? Say yes, I returned, or no, I did not return. Say no, I did not return.
The questioner : I did not return.
The Shaykh : Good, and I told you, if it is permissible to curse the Muslim open sinner, is it not permissible to curse the disbeliever? This is called a fortiori analogy (qiyas awla). May Allah reward you. If Allah said:[Al-Isra 17:23], is it permissible to strike them with disbelief? This is called a fortiori analogy. If it is permissible to curse the Muslim who testifies that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah because he did an action contrary to the Shari'ah, if it is permissible to curse him, then [it is permissible to curse] the disbeliever in Allah.
The questioner : Of course, there is no doubt that it is permissible.
The Shaykh : Good, how do you say we are not finished? According to my knowledge and understanding, or I said according to my ignorance and injustice, it makes no difference to me, what matters is with Allah. In my opinion, we are finished because I am telling you that you believe with me that it is permissible to curse the Muslim open sinner, so it is permissible to curse the disbeliever a fortiori.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : And you, but I am now telling you something: Are you convinced that it is permissible to curse the Muslim open sinner?
The questioner : By Allah... by the command of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), that he commanded us to curse the women who cover themselves but are naked, who lead astray and are led astray. This is, of course, because they are, meaning, open sinners who display their adornment, so there is no doubt that it is permissible to curse the Muslim open sinner, the wicked one. And Allah knows best.
The Shaykh : But you said at first that it is not permissible to do so specifically.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes, now you are mixing things up.
The questioner : No, I mean, I said that I heard that one of us, meaning, said that it is not permissible to curse a specific disbeliever.
The Shaykh : Yes, and a specific open sinner.
The questioner : He did not say that.
The Shaykh : What do you say?
The questioner : It is permissible.
The Shaykh : What is the evidence?
The questioner : The evidence is that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), that if we see them, we should curse them.
The Shaykh : Yes, but I said, I saw this woman displaying her adornment, I cursed her, you did not curse her.
The questioner : Did you curse her?
The Shaykh : I cursed her.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : It is permissible.
The questioner : It is permissible here.
The Shaykh : But why don't you follow Shaykh Saud in his method of convincing people? Why?

The questioner : I did not return.
The Shaykh : Good, and I told you, if it is permissible to curse the Muslim open sinner, is it not permissible to curse the disbeliever? This is called a fortiori analogy (qiyas awla). May Allah reward you. If Allah said:
say not to them [so much as], "uff,"
فَلَا تَقُلْ لَهُمَا أُفٍّThe questioner : Of course, there is no doubt that it is permissible.
The Shaykh : Good, how do you say we are not finished? According to my knowledge and understanding, or I said according to my ignorance and injustice, it makes no difference to me, what matters is with Allah. In my opinion, we are finished because I am telling you that you believe with me that it is permissible to curse the Muslim open sinner, so it is permissible to curse the disbeliever a fortiori.
