The ruling on weeping while reciting the Qur'an
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Honorable Shaykh! What is the ruling on weeping during the recitation of the Qur'an and other things?
Weeping, if it is not affected or done for showing off, is permissible; indeed, it may even be required. However, if it is affected or done for showing off, because some imams weep or feign weeping to show off in order to make the people around them weep,Or it should be said: [thinking] "He is a weeping man," then that is not permissible. But if you try to induce weeping; meaning you try to make your heart humble and witness the greatness of Allah the Exalted, or witness the reward in the verses of promise, or witness the punishment in the verses of warning, then that is good and benefits the person.
And there is a hadith whose authenticity I do not know: (If you do not weep, then feign weeping) But I do not know the authenticity of this hadith right now.
