Does a curse befall one who cursed himself out of fear of a sin, and then repented from it?
We congratulate the questioner on his repentance from sins and pray for his steadfastness, while emphasizing the importance of repentance and seeking forgiveness. No expiation is required for cursing oneself, as an oath is not constituted in such formulations. Cursing or invoking divine wrath upon oneself is not considered a binding oath, as mentioned by Ibn Qudamah and Ibn Alesh. A person's supplication against himself is usually not answered; rather, it is considered idle talk.
