DISPLAY OF EXCESSIVE GRIEF IS FORBIDDEN

1704

“Whosoever beats his face, tears at his clothes and bewails his fate because of a misfortune as it was done in Days of Ignorance (pre-Islamic days) is not of us.”

Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Ibn Mas'ud who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
