What is the ruling on crying loudly during prayer?

The questioner : Crying loudly in the night prayer—raising the voice greatly in the mosque—until it is as if the mosque is a place of mourning or something like that?

The Shaykh : In crying and in wailing. Crying does not invalidate the prayer, because one is overcome by it. As for wailing, there is no doubt that it may expose the prayer to invalidity, and Allah is the One to be sought for help. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), when he stood to pray—the narrator said—, meaning: he would cry, but he would not make a loud noise in his crying; it was as if it was a suppressed cry in the chest, but it necessarily manifested.

The questioner : I mean, Shaykh, but this supplication, even in Ramadan—for example...

The Shaykh : Except for what we mentioned earlier.

The questioner : Yes, regarding current events, but—for example... a current event, knowing that people are now in a state of current events...

The Shaykh : Regarding current events, but do they recite the qunut for them in the obligatory prayers?

The questioner: No.

The Shaykh : The Shaykh: The answer is: No, that is fine.
