Is a husband's invocation against his wife and daughters, unjustly and without a religiously acceptable reason, permissible in Islam?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

A father's wrongful prayer against his wife and daughters is impermissible and considered a sin. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade a person from supplicating against himself, his child, or his wealth. It is also mentioned that a father's supplication against his child is answered, just as a mother's supplication is also answered. It is advisable to avoid any action that displeases the father. The father should pray for the well-being of his wife and daughters, as supplicating against them brings more harm than benefit.
