What is the ruling on sitting with those who insult and curse unjust officials and rulers, and what is our duty towards them, and how can we respond to them?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A Muslim must keep his tongue pure from insults, slanders, and curses. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The believer is not one who slanders, or curses, or speaks obscenely or lewdly." The majority of jurists are of the opinion that it is impermissible to curse a specific individual. It is recommended to offer them advice, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Religion is sincerity (or good counsel)."
