The ruling on raising one's voice with weeping upon hearing the Qur'an
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and grant you success in all good, Shaykh Salih. He also asks and says: Is it permissible to shout when hearing the Qur'an or the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? Because we have people who, when they hear this, one of them will shout without realizing it, even though we have warned them and asked them why they do this? They say that lights are descending upon us and we cannot bear them.
Answer:
Weeping out of fear of Allah the Exalted is a required matter when reciting the Qur'an or when hearing the words of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), if the motivation for this is humility in the heart. However, one should not exaggerate in raising the voice, shouting, or disturbing people, and because of what is in this of showing off (riya') and seeking fame, one should be humble and weep, but without affectation, without raising the voice and wailing, and the like. As for their saying that these are lights descending upon us, this is a lie, this is a lie, and perhaps this is from the whispering of Satan to mislead them from the path of Allah the Exalted. Yes.
