Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: The author (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned that if a mute person intends to hunt, instead of naming Allah, he points his hand toward the sky. He asks: Is this statement the stronger position and correct?
Answer:
Yes, even in prayer and even in the dhikr (remembrance of Allah). A mute person who is unable to speak indicates by gesture, and the gesture takes the place of the verbal expression. Marriage and contracts are valid by gesture. Yes.
