Ruling on raising the voice in crying during the Tarawih prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Your Eminence! Crying out of fear of Allah is a good thing, but in the Tarawih prayer we hear loud crying that disturbs the worshippers. What is the ruling on this loud crying? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
It is prescribed for the believer to strive to control himself so that he does not disturb the worshippers with his crying, and his crying should be at a low volume. This is what is prescribed for him. For this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would be heard with a sound from his chest like the sound of a boiling cauldron due to crying, but it would not be loud enough to harm the people. Perhaps his eyes would shed tears without any sound.
So the conclusion is that the believer strives to control himself so that no one is harmed by his crying. As for if it overcomes him and he cannot control it, then that does not harm him. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you and bless you, O Shaykh.
