What is the religious ruling on a person who curses saying: "May the Lord of the chair be burned, may the religion of the table be burned, may the Lord of the room be cursed," claiming that he means the lord of the thing, i.e., its owner?
Whoever burned or cursed the Lord of the Throne or the Room, intending to curse Allah, has committed a grave evil and disbelieved by consensus, whether serious or joking. If he intended the owner of the Throne or the Room, and there was evidence to support his intention, he does not disbelieve but incurs sin if the owner of the Throne or the Room does not deserve to be cursed. However, if there is no credible justification for his words and he uttered them out of disrespect for Allah, his claim that he intended the owner of the thing is not accepted, like someone who curses the Prophet and says he meant a scorpion, for he is killed as a punishment or for disbelief.
