Is it permissible to curse the disbelievers among the Christians, even if it is one's father?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : All right, is it permissible to curse the People of the Book in our lands now?
The Shaykh : I didn't understand.
The questioner : I mean, we say, "May Allah curse the Christians" ... Muslims who are monotheists.
The Shaykh : Yes, it is permissible, but this has a condition, which is that no harm that returns to the Muslims should result from this declaration.
The questioner : You and I are sitting here. I told you, for example, that the Shaykh said, "May the curse of Allah be upon the Christians," and you said, "And your father," meaning my father. What do I say, yes or no? Because my father is a Christian.
The Shaykh : You said this in front of him.
The questioner : I was sitting with a Muslim.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : So the discussion intensified regarding the Christians and the Jews.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : I said, "May the curse of Allah be upon them."
The Shaykh : He said, "And your father."
The questioner : I didn't want to answer that my father is a Christian.
The Shaykh : Don't answer, what is it to you? He wants to cause fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), but it is permissible for you.
The questioner : The original ruling is that it is permissible.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And you, O Allah, Glory be to You, and praise be to You. I testify that there is no god but You. I seek Your forgiveness and turn to You in repentance.
The Shaykh : Let them announce what they announce.
The questioner : In the news, they said, "On the occasion of the festival, may His Majesty the King, on the occasion of the blessed 'Id al-Fitr."
The Shaykh : I don't know if they have confirmed it; this is possible.
The Shaykh : I didn't understand.
