Inability to pronounce letters correctly in prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The third question of Fatwa No. ( 18251 )
Q 3: I would like to ask about my mother. She is a woman who is deaf and uneducated, and she grew up in the desert and did not come to the city until about 19 years ago. Her hearing loss began when she was 10 years old, and this condition has affected her articulation of letters; she pronounces (ayn) as (ha) and there are other letters as well. The biggest problem is prayer: when we try to teach her to recite al-Fatihah and another surah, she cannot pronounce the letters correctly as they are, and she does not know the messengers or the Messenger, nor Paradise, nor Hell, nor that there is punishment, resurrection, and the Reckoning. Also, when she watches television, she does not hear it, she only sees it, and she does not understand the danger of this device. She sees news and historical series, but does she not watch corrupt foreign programs?
A 3: Teach your mother what is easy of the Qur'an and the matters of her religion. There is no blame on her for the letters she cannot pronounce correctly in their proper form
The correct view is based on His saying, the Exalted:[At-Taghabun 64:16], and His saying, the Exalted: [Al-Baqarah 2:286]. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.

So fear Allah as much as you are able
فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْAllah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity
لاَ يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلا وُسْعَهَا
