Summary
Weeping while reciting the Quran is permissible, and it is even encouraged when a person is moved by the meaning of the verses, whether inside or outside prayer, such as verses about punishment. In the Shafi'i school, the prayer is invalidated if the weeping clearly produces two letters, whether meaningful or not, or one letter that carries meaning. If the two letters are not clearly pronounced, the prayer remains valid.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Sebagai kesimpulan, kami menyatakan bahawa hukum menangis ketika membaca Al-Quran adalah dibenarkan.
