The Ruling on Crying Over the Dead with a Loud Voice
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says in one of his questions: When I and some of the brothers go to the cemetery to visit and to take a lesson, I sometimes hear some people crying with a loud voice. Is this permissible?
Answer:
If the crying overcomes him, there is no blame on him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cried at his mother’s grave, and he made others cry—(peace and blessings be upon him)—so there is nothing wrong with crying if it overcomes him; there is nothing wrong, and no blame in that. There is no specific limit set for this, but he should lower his voice if he is able to do so; so that he does not disturb anyone, and so that it is not thought that he is showing off, or that he intended something else.
So the point is: if the crying overcomes him, there is no blame on him for that; because when he is present at the graves and remembers his relatives and his loved ones, the lesson—crying—may overcome him. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
