The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) forbade insulting or cursing the wind, for it is commanded by its Creator. It comes with both mercy and punishment, and cursing it is equivalent to cursing Allah, its Creator, and being displeased with His decree. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) then guided us to turn to Allah, its Creator, by asking Him for the good of the wind, the good that is within it, and the good for which it has been sent, such as bringing rain or transferring pollen and similar benefits. He also taught us to seek refuge in Allah from its evil, the evil within it, and the evil for which it has been sent, such as destroying crops, trees, livestock, demolishing buildings, etc. Asking Allah in this way affirms servitude to Him.

The prohibition of cursing the wind is because it is a created being managed by divine order. Therefore, cursing it ultimately returns to its Creator and Manager, which reflects a deficiency in one's monotheism.
Turning to Allah and seeking refuge with Him from the evil of what He has created.
The wind can be commanded to bring good, and it can also be commanded to bring evil.
Ibn Bāz said: Cursing the wind is among the sins, as it is a created being managed by divine order sent with both good and evil. Hence, it is not permissible to curse it, nor is it permissible to say: "May Allah curse the wind," or "May Allah fight the wind," or "May Allah not bless this wind," or anything similar. Rather, a believer should act according to the guidance of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him).
The prohibition of cursing and insulting the wind also applies to other aspects related to heat, cold, the sun, dust, and anything else that is part of Allah's creation and His management.
