What is the ruling of Islamic law regarding a wife who curses her husband, his family, the religion, and the Lord when she is extremely angry, knowing that she will regret it and seek forgiveness afterwards, and then blames her husband?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If anger causes a woman to lose her mind and awareness, then she is not held accountable for what she says or does, but she must beware of the causes of anger. Her husband should not provoke her. However, if her anger is normal and does not cause her to lose awareness, then she is accountable for what she says or does, and she is sinful for cursing her husband and his family. Cursing religion and the Lord expels one from the faith. We hope that she is excused due to the intensity of her anger and emotional distress, but she must be careful of the causes of anger.
