Dought & clear - Cursing One’s Children or Wife.

What is the ruling on one who curses his wife or one of his children?
Does cursing one's wife count as divorce or not?
Praise be to Allah.
Cursing one's wife is notpermitted, and it is not adivorce; she still
remains married to him and he has to repent to Allah forthat and seek
the forgiveness of the one whom he has cursed. Similarly, it is not
permitted for him to curse his children or anyone else among the
Muslims, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon
him) said: "Tradinginsults with a Muslim is evildoing and fighting him
is kufr (disbelief)." (authentic – agreed upon). And he (peace and
blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Cursing a believer is like
killing him." (al-Bukhaari in his Saheeh).
These two saheeh hadeeths (authentic narrations) indicate that a
Muslim's cursing his brother is a major sin, sowe must beware of that
and restrain our tonguesfrom committing this awful sin.
A woman is not divorcedif her husband curses her; she is still married
to her husband, as stated above.
