The answer

Lahn (cursing) is expulsion from the mercy of Allah the Almighty. Not every cursed individual is like Iblis, for monotheists will not abide eternally in the Fire; rather, they will emerge from it after being purified.

Lahn occurs only for major sins, and it means expelling the disobedient from Allah's mercy, which is specific to the obedient, and not a total expulsion like that of the disbelievers.

If the disobedient person repents with sincere repentance, then Allah accepts his repentance, and the lahn is lifted. Allah may also prevent the disobedient person from the Fire and from lahn due to preventing factors, including: repentance, seeking forgiveness, expiating good deeds, atoning calamities, the intercession of the Prophet, peace be upon him, and others, the supplication of believers, what is gifted to the deceased, the trial of the grave, and the horrors of the Day of Judgment.

Therefore, one cannot definitively assert that a person will enter the Fire for a specific sin, because whoever dies upon monotheism will not abide eternally in the Fire, and the lahn mentioned in the context of disobedient monotheists does not prevent their entry into Paradise.
