The questioner : This is a listener to the program who sent a question saying: “May the Shaykh be respected, in Ramadan and in the supplication of the witr prayer, some imams are very moving in their supplication. As we know, humility out of fear of Allah and weeping are good, but on some days we hear shouting that may affect the people praying behind them, so it is close to wailing. Is this permissible, and what is your advice?”
The Shaykh : There is no doubt that humility and the softness of the heart are among the praiseworthy matters for which a person is praised. However, if it reaches the level of excess and exaggeration, it becomes blameworthy from this perspective.
The questioner : Good, good.
The Shaykh : If a person intentionally engages in this loud weeping that is almost shouting or wailing, he is blameworthy for this. But if it happens without his choice and he cannot prevent it, he is not blameworthy in this case. However, a person must avoid everything that harms the worshippers or disturbs them, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went out to his people one day while they were praying and reciting loudly, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: And in another hadith: Sunan Abi Dawud 1332Sahih (Al-Albani) So a person should lower his voice and reduce it if he is with a congregation so that he does not disturb them. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah bless you.
