Question
If one spouse curses the other, does this mean that they are divorced or forbidden to one another?
Answer
Praise be to Allah.
Neither of them becomes forbidden to the other as the result
of cursing, and divorce does not take place as a result, but his cursing her
or her cursing him is a major sin, and they have to repent and ask Allaah
for forgiveness for what they have done, and they have to ask one another
for forgiveness for cursing one another. And Allaah is the Source of
strength. May Allaah send blessings and peace upon His Prophet Muhammad and
his family and companions. End quote.
