Is it permissible to curse those who prostrate to graves?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some people from this Ummah prostrate to graves, and they claim to be Muslims. Is it permissible for us to curse them?

Answer:
Answer: Yes, whoever prostrates to other than Allah commits disbelief by doing so, because he has worshipped other than Allah. Prostration is the greatest type of worship; it is the greatest pillar of the prayer. Therefore, it is not permissible to prostrate to other than Allah. However, we explain to them that this is shirk (associating partners with Allah) and that this is misguidance. We explain it to them and make it clear to them. As for the issue of cursing a specific person, there is scholarly disagreement on this. As for cursing disbelievers in general, such as "May the curse of Allah be upon the disbelievers," "May the curse of Allah be upon the wrongdoers," and "We make the curse of Allah upon the liars," this is found in the Qur'an. Cursing this group in general is established. As for specific individuals, there is disagreement on whether it is permissible to curse them or not. The closer view is that it is not permissible to curse them, because it is not known what their final state was, or what they died upon. It is not known whether they died upon disbelief or not. Yes.
