Crying in Salaah
Question
My father passed away 20 days ago. Alhamdollilah Allah Ta'ala gave me a lot of saber and I did not cry in front of anyone. But every time I pray namaz I just automatically cry. I don't know why this happens. I try so hard to control myself because I am scared that shaitan maybe making me cry. Is it ok to cry in namaaz?
Answer
Don't pay attention to this. Pay attention to your namaaz.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
