Question:
May Allah reward you and make your knowledge beneficial. Sister Shin-Ra says: I am a woman who feels tightness in my chest, and it may affect my marital life. She says: In this state, I recite the Noble Qur'an because it opens up my chest. However, when I recite the Qur'an, I cry, but not because of the words in the Qur'an. Is this permissible or not? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
In any case, this is a psychological illness, and we ask Allah for your healing and well-being. You should try to leave this obsessive compulsion and this psychological illness, and seek help from Allah the Mighty and Majestic, rely on Him, and increase in His remembrance, Glorified and Exalted is He. Indeed, that is among the things that will drive this psychological illness away from you. The remembrance of Allah the Mighty and Majestic, seeking refuge[An-Nahl 16:98], reciting the Qur'an, and not expressing or reacting to this illness—all of this is among the causes that will alleviate it or remove it from you, by the permission of Allah. Reciting the Qur'an is good; reciting the Qur'an is good, and there is reward and recompense in it, whether you cry or not, and even if you cry due to the effect of the illness or due to another matter, this does not prevent you from reciting the Noble Qur'an. Yes.
