Summary
A sound hadith in al-Bukhari shows the Prophet SAW wept while listening to Abdullah bin Mas’ud recite Surah al-Nisa’, and several companions and early scholars also wept when reciting the Quran. Weeping during recitation is described as a trait of those who know Allah and of righteous servants, and al-Ghazali considered it recommended. In prayer, the Shafi’i school holds that weeping beyond two intelligible letters invalidates the prayer, unless it cannot be controlled and does not take the person out of the state of prayer.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
