Is the intent behind the Hadith: "Women who are clothed yet naked... Curse them, for they are indeed cursed," directed only at believing women? And is the curse here a curse of condemnation for immodest display, rather than expulsion from God's mercy? And is it permissible for a Muslim to supplicate for their guidance instead of cursing them?

The apparent meaning of the indicates that the curse applies to women described with the characteristics mentioned at the beginning of the Hadith, who are women from this Ummah committing grave sins. This curse is real, not like the cursing of disbelievers. For grave sinners, the curse does not mean their complete expulsion from Allah's mercy, because a Muslim does not exit Islam by committing grave sins unless they deem them permissible. There is no harm in supplicating for guidance for those who display their adornments.
