Ruling on Cursing One's Parents in Joke

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some people, in the way of joking, say to one of them: "May your parents be cursed?"

Answer:
No, cursing is not permissible, neither in jest nor in earnest. We ask Allah for well-being.
Q: Does this return to him if he is not cursed?
A: Yes, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Cursing a believer is like killing himلعن المؤمن كقتله
,
The invoker of curse would neither be witness nor intercessor on the Day of Resurrection.إنَّ اللَّعَّانين ليسوا شهداء ولا شُفعاء يوم القيامة
Sahih Muslim 2598c
, We ask Allah for well-being.
