The ruling on one who curses a specific person in anger for the sake of Allah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
One who curses in anger for the sake of Allah, does he curse a specific person?
Answer:
No, one does not curse a believer, but rather he calls him to good, he calls him and advises him and directs him to good.
As for cursing disbelievers: there is no harm in general, "May Allah curse the Jews and the Christians," "May Allah curse the open sinners," "May Allah curse the oppressors," "May Allah curse the thieves," this is in general, or regarding those who are not specified, there is no harm.
But a specific person may be cursed if the need calls for it; because he is one of the heads of the disbelievers and one of the oppressors of the people, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed a group of Quraysh before the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah and after it, when their evil became greater, such as Abu Lahab, and Utbah ibn Rabi'ah, and Abu Jahl ibn Hisham, and their like; because of the severity of their disbelief and their oppression of the people, otherwise the predominant practice and the Sunnah is to refrain from cursing whenever possible.
And when it was said to him: O Messenger of Allah, the tribe of Dawas has rebelled, so call upon Allah against them, he said:Sahih al-Bukhari 2937, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said when a slave was brought on a donkey who was drinking intoxicants, and a man said: May Allah curse him, how often he is brought in, he said: Musannaf Abd al-Razzaq 17:2540, he may be a sinner and have love for Allah, he is called for guidance and repentance, Satan overpowers and desire overpowers, and there is no power and no strength except by Allah. He is advised to his family, and he is advised to his neighbors, and he is advised to his companions to do good.

O Allah! Give guidance to the people of Daus, and let them embrace Islam.
اللهم اهد دوسا وائت بهمDo not curse him, for he loves Allah and His Messenger
لا تلعنه فإنه يحب الله ورسوله
