Crying outside of prayer for any reason, and the resulting tears, do not break wudu. However, during prayer, crying out loud due to worldly concerns invalidates the prayer but does not break wudu. (Mergînânî, al-Hidāya, 1/62) On the other hand, crying during prayer out of fear of Allah, or due to remembering Paradise or Hell, does not break wudu nor does it invalidate the prayer.
