Excessive Crying in Sermons and Preaching
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If a person cries a lot while preaching to people, or while delivering the Friday sermon, is it better for him to take on the role of preacher and deliver the Friday sermon, or should he leave the preaching and the Friday sermon to someone else?
Answer:
The important thing is the benefit. If he is more beneficial to the people in his sermon, he should take on the preaching, even if he cries, because if he cries, it affects the people as well, out of fear of Allah the Exalted. But if someone else is more beneficial to the people in the sermon, then the one whose sermon is more beneficial is put forward. Yes. Impact on the people. Yes.
