Father cursing his son

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: If a father says to his son “if it’s true that you committed what I suspect you, May Allah curse you” and surely the son committed what his father suspected him (Though the father has confidence his son will never do that due to his (son’s) good character). Now:

1. What is the ruling on that curse?

2. Is the son still a Muslim?

3. Can the son, despite being cursed pave his way to paradise?

4. If surely Allah cursed a person, he distanced him from his mercy, how could that son draw nearer to Allah’s mercy.

5. The father is quite happy with the son as I write this, because he obeys whatever he asks him to do, not knowing the son is cursed by him. What is your advice to the son?

Bismillaah

A:

1. Make taubah, Allah will save you.

2. Yes.

3. Definitely

4. As explained above.

5. Don’t pay attention to this.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
