Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If a mute person is able to write and writes his testimony, is it accepted from him?

Answer:
Because writing takes the place of speech, yes, it is accepted, because writing takes the place of speech if it is established that this is his writing in his own handwriting.
