Summary
Weeping out of fear of Allah is regarded as very good and can lead to repentance. The more important matter is the action taken after the gathering and whether the heart remains at the same level as before. The answer advises following the teachings of the Prophet, the companions and the Rabbani scholars who truly fear Allah.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
