Q 1: A wife says that
she argues a lot with her husband, and he may curse her more than five times.
What is the ruling on this? May Allah reward you good.
A:
It is not permissible for a Muslim to curse his wife or any other Muslim, for the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said,
"Cursing a believer is as (sinful as) killing them."
He (peace be upon him) also said,
“Reviling (Part No. 19; Page No. 245) a Muslim is Fisq (flagrant violation of Islamic law) and fighting against them is (tantamount to) Kufr (disbelief).”
However, the wife is not considered unlawful to the husband as a result. Yet, he should perform Tawbah (repentance to Allah) from this grave sin, and ask his wife's forgiveness. Allah (Glorified be He) says:
...and live with them honourably.
It is dishonorable to abuse and curse her. On the other hand, a wife should obey her husband in what is lawful and should not drive him with her bad behavior to cursing her. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
