Is there disbelief in the statement — God forbid: "May the father of hardship be cursed"?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The one who utters this phrase does not become an unbeliever, but phrases that include complaint and discontent with Allah's decree are unlawful (haram). A Muslim should keep away from cursing and reviling, because a believer is not a frequent curser, nor a slanderer, nor obscene, nor foul-mouthed. It is not permissible to curse animals and inanimate objects, because if a curse does not find a target, it returns to its utterer. When a Muslim faces difficulties in his affairs, he should be patient and ask Allah for ease, for indeed, with hardship comes ease.
