Screaming and shouting in the Musjid
Question
Is it allowed in a Musjid for someone to recite loudly a naat or nazam and people to start screaming and chanting. The screaming is literally shouting and people going into a trance. The screaming is not praises to Allah or his Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) but really shouting. The reciter also encourages such screaming. Is this practise allowed to take place in a masjid?
Answer
It is not at all right.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
