Is it permissible to wish death upon an disabled brother due to the embarrassment he causes us?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Disability is a trial from Allah Almighty, containing many wisdoms, among them: testing the family's faith, demonstrating Allah's power, and serving as a lesson for the healthy. It is not permissible to curse a disabled child, as this involves displeasure with Allah's decree and destiny. Rather, one must be content with Allah's decree and supplicate for the child's well-being and show compassion towards them. Indeed, cursing children has been forbidden.
