Is a woman who cursed her fiancé in a moment of anger, then regretted it and prayed to God not to answer her prayer, held accountable?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

One should be cautious about the prolonged duration of the engagement period and hasten to complete the marriage, because the suitor is a stranger to his fiancée until the legal marriage contract is concluded. Conversation is not permissible except out of necessity, and sincere repentance is obligatory for excessive communication. Anger and nervousness are from Satan, and invoking curses upon the suitor is one of the bad consequences of anger. It is not permissible to invoke curses upon him except for a legitimate reason, because it is an invocation of sin. We advise supplicating for his well-being. Marriage aims for stability and the continuity of companionship. Allah Almighty says: "And among His Signs is this, that He created for you mates from among yourselves, that you may dwell in tranquility with them, and He put affection and mercy between you. Verily, in that are indeed signs for a people who reflect."
