Ruling on explaining the names and attributes through sign language
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q83: Is it permissible to explain the attributes and names of Allah to the deaf and those with special needs through hand signs?
A83: If the one explaining understands this, and the one being explained to also understands the signs, then there is nothing wrong with it; but it is a condition for the one explaining through signs that he be a scholar of the meaning of the names and attributes, not explaining them from his own opinion or his own mind, but rather explaining them according to the words of the scholars of knowledge, and according to what has come in the Book and the Sunnah.
