Does blowing and crying invalidate the prayer?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The blowing.
The Shaykh : Blowing is lighter and easier. It is established that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed the prayer of the eclipse with the Companions, he blew in his prostration (peace and blessings be upon him). Likewise, blowing is not speech, so it also does not invalidate the prayer.
The questioner : Crying with a voice?
The Shaykh : Likewise, it does not invalidate the prayer, and indeed...
The questioner : And it is not disliked.
The Shaykh : I think that the ruling of dislike in any matter applies only to what a person does intentionally. If a person cries with a voice during prayer, he is not responsible for it because he cannot control himself. You know that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) the water boiling in a cauldron. So we cannot say that crying is disliked, unless it is intentional. In that case, the matter falls under showing off, seeking fame, and the love of appearing, and the love of appearing cuts off appearing, otherwise.

He used to cry in his prayer, and his chest would make a sound like the sound of a boiling cauldron.
كان يبكي في صلاته ولصدره أزيز كأزيز المرجل
