Crying and raising the voice upon hearing the verses in prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it prescribed to cry upon hearing the Qur'anic verses in prayer? And what is the ruling on raising the voice in doing so?

Answer:
Crying is a form of humility, and that is a good thing. But do not raise your voice and disturb the worshippers. One should cry without raising the voice. Yes.
