Crying during prayer or Quran recitation does not invalidate ablution Fatwa No: 324580
- Fatwa Date:16-5-2016
If a person's tears roll down from his eyes in between prayers due to worldly reasons, is his ablution be annulled? Or if he cries, similarly due to worldly reasons in between his reading of the Quran, will his ablution be annulled?
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.
Crying while praying or when reciting the Quran, even if it was for a worldly reason, does not invalidate ablution.
We have already clarified the matters that invalidate ablution in fatwa 84093, so please refer to it.
Allaah knows best.
