The Imam Repeating Verses When Crying
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for the imam, when he is crying, to repeat the verses and reflect on them without holding back his tears? Or is it obligatory for him to be patient in that regard?
Answer:
The imam does not repeat [the verses] and does not feign crying. As for if he is praying alone, there is no harm in repeating; if he is praying alone, he repeats the verse and cries. But if he is praying with people, he must consider the conditions of the ma'mum (those praying behind him) and not make it difficult for them.
