The Ruling on Mutual Weeping
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: What is the ruling on mutual weeping? And what is the authenticity of what has been reported regarding it?
A: It has been reported in some hadiths:Sunan Ibn Majah 4196Da’if (Darussalam), but I do not know its authenticity. Ahmad narrated it, but I do not remember now the authenticity of the mentioned addition, which is: Sunan Ibn Majah 4196Da’if (Darussalam). However, it is well-known on the tongues of the scholars, but it requires further attention; because I do not remember now the state of its chain. The most apparent is that one should not strain himself, but rather, if weeping occurs, let him strive to not disturb the people, but let it be light weeping that does not disturb anyone, according to his ability and possibility.
A: It has been reported in some hadiths:
and if you cannot weep then pretend to weep
إن لم تبكوا فتباكواand if you cannot weep then pretend to weep
فإن لم تبكوا فتباكوا
