Weeping in Salah


559

A: Weeping and feeling Khushu` while reciting Qur’an during the Salah do not affect its validity. However, the worshippers offering Salah must do their best not to disturb others who are in the same congregational Salah, or who perform Salah or recite Qur’an next to them. Proof for the foregoing is a Hadith which is authentically reported from the Prophet (peace be upon him) that sometimes while praying his chest would heave like the boiling of a cauldron because of weeping. Moreover, it is authentically reported that Al-Siddiq and `Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to weep while performing Salah. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
