Is it forbidden to benefit from or give in charity a cursed object, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) command to abandon the cursed she-camel, or was that command specific to him?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is narrated that the Prophet (peace be upon him) ordered a she-camel that had been cursed to be kept away, and that nothing cursed should accompany him. The intention behind this was specifically to prohibit the cursed she-camel from accompanying the Prophet (peace be upon him), and it does not contain a prohibition against selling it, slaughtering it, or riding it when it is not in his company. All these actions are permissible.
