Compelling Deaf and Mute Children to Pray
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Shaykh Salih, may Allah preserve you. I want to ask you about my children. I have two children who are deaf and mute. They do not hear. Regarding the prayer, should I compel them to pray in the mosque? Except for the Fajr prayer, because their mornings are difficult for them. Should I splash them with a little water?
Answer:
Yes, wake them up for the prayer and alert them. And now, praise be to Allah, there is education for the deaf and mute in schools for this purpose, and they are cared for. So, enroll them in these schools so they can learn and understand. Yes.
