Shaikh Bin Baaz (Rahimahullaah) was asked the following question:
Q: “I have seen some people abuse and curse animals without any sympathy, especially when they get tired with them. What is the ruling on that? ”
He (Rahimahullaah) answered:“Abusing animals as well as inanimate objects is not permissible. The Prophet (Salla-Allaahu `alayhi wa sallam) said: ‘Those who curse will not be witnesses nor intercessors on the Day of Resurrection.’ [Muslim]
In another Hadeeth, he (Salla-Allaahu `alayhi wa sallam) said: ‘The true believer is not involved in taunting, or frequently cursing (others) or speaking indecent words, or abusing others.’ [At-Tirmidhi]
Imran bin Husain (Radia-Allaahu ‘anhu) narrated that a woman from the Ansaar was riding a she-camel and when she got fed up with it, she cursed it. The Messenger (Salla-Allaahu `alayhi wa sallam) heard her and said: ‘Unload that she-camel and set it free, for it is accursed.’ [Muslim]
It is obligatory upon the Muslim to preserve his tongue from abusing anyone and everything, with only one exception. In regards to the general abuse of the disbelievers or the oppressors or those who rebel, it is permissible for him to say: ‘Allaah curses the oppressors, Allaah curses the disbelievers, or those who rebel, Allaah curses the thief, Allaah curses the one who drinks wine.’ Generally, there is no harm in doing that.” – Source: Fatawa Noor alad-Darb
Shaikh Bin Jibreen was asked the following question:
Q: “A man was writing on a piece of paper. While he was writing, he made mistakes in some words, so he became angry and abused the religion of the pen and paper. Is abusing the religion of objects like the pen, paper, or stone, or tree, or chair, or glass, etc. considered as Kufr (disbelief)?”
A: Undoubtedly, this kind of abusing is Haraam (forbidden) even though the pen and paper have no religion. But it is known that the religion is one and Allaah (Subhaanahu wa Ta’alaa) Who has subjected these pens and objects for us and made them easy for us to use. Beware, this abusing might go back to Allaah [because Allaah is the One Who decreed these incidents to happen and He is the Doer, not the pen or the paper]. So this person should return to Allaah in repentance and ask for forgiveness from Allaah and resolve not to return to such an act. – Source: Mawsoo’ at al-Fatawa
