Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani
I was told that crying not from khushu3, nullifies the wudu’, is this true? And if one finds food bits stuck b/n the teeth after performing wudu’, is the wudu’ still valid?
Walaikum assalam,
Crying invalidates the prayer, if from other than remembering Heaven, Hell or other next-worldly matters. It does not invalidate wudu.
What invalidates wudu is laughing audibly in prayer.
Wassalam,
Faraz Rabbani
