The ruling on a praying person weeping due to the remembrance of his deceased father
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man says: He remembered his father who had passed away, so he wept during his prayer. Does this invalidate his prayer?
Answer:
If the weeping overcame him, it does not invalidate it, if Allah wills. But if he forced it and brought it to mind, saying, "Because of my father, may he receive mercy," and he makes a supplication for him, this is an innovation in the prayer and is not permissible. Yes.
