Cursing is a major sin
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: We see, to a great extent, the spread of cursing for the most trivial reasons among many people, such as cursing a specific person, and cursing parents and relatives. We ask Your Eminence to clarify the danger of this to the Muslim's religion?
A. S. - Riyadh
A: Cursing a Muslim without right is among the major sins and among the apparent transgressions. And if the cursing is directed at parents, the sin becomes greater and more serious, as it is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: It is agreed upon as authentic. And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih Ibn Hibban 47:195 Narrated by Muslim in his Sahih. And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih Muslim 64a It is agreed upon. And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to his Companions: Sahih Muslim 88b They said: Yes, O Messenger of Allah. So he said: Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3021Sahih (Darussalam) Or he said: It is agreed upon as authentic.
There is no doubt that cursing parents is among the ugliest forms of undutifulness to parents. So it is obligatory for Muslims in general, and for children in particular with their parents, to be cautious of this crime and to purify their tongues from it, out of fear of the anger and punishment of Allah, and out of concern for the preservation of affection and brotherhood between the Muslim and his brothers, and between the child and his parents.
We ask Allah to guide the Muslims to all good.

Cursing a believer is like killing him
لعن المؤمن كقتلهThe cursers will not be witnesses or intercessors on the Day of Resurrection
إن اللعانين لا يكونون شهداء ولا شفعاء يوم القيامةAbusing a Muslim is an outrage and fighting against him is unbelief
سباب المسلم فسوق وقتاله كفرShould I not inform you about the gravest of the major sins
ألا أنبئكم بأكبر الكبائرThe major sins are associating others with Allah, disobeying the parents" or he said, "the false oath
الإشراك بالله وعقوق الوالدين وقول الزورAnd bearing false witness
وشهادة الزورThere is no doubt that cursing parents is among the ugliest forms of undutifulness to parents. So it is obligatory for Muslims in general, and for children in particular with their parents, to be cautious of this crime and to purify their tongues from it, out of fear of the anger and punishment of Allah, and out of concern for the preservation of affection and brotherhood between the Muslim and his brothers, and between the child and his parents.
