What is the ruling on a wife cursing her husband and his father for the most trivial reasons and without reason, knowing that she performs the obligatory prayers and fasts, even the supererogatory ones?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, warned against cursing and insulting a Muslim, saying: "Do not curse one another with the curse of Allah, nor with His wrath, nor with Hellfire," and "Cursing a believer is like killing him," and "Insulting a Muslim is wickedness, and fighting him is disbelief." What the wife is doing by insulting her husband and his father is a great evil and a major sin. She must repent and adorn herself with the virtuous manners of a Muslim. For a Muslim is not one who slanders, nor curses, nor is obscene, nor vulgar.
