Question:
May Allah reward you with good. What is the difference between forbidden crying and permissible crying? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Crying without raising the voice is permissible. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wept, and his eyes filled with tears, over some of the deceased and over his son Ibrahim. When Ibrahim died, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wept. So crying is permissible because it is mercy, and also because a person cannot prevent himself from crying. The crying that is forbidden is that which involves raising the voice and enumerating the virtues of the deceased; this is the forbidden wailing.
