Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And may Allah bless you. This questioner, Abdullah, says: I have a deaf sister and a mute brother, and, praise be to Allah, they perform the obligatory acts. Are they also like everyone else in matters of worship and the Shari'ah, O Shaykh?
Answer:
Yes, the mute and the deaf have the obligatory duties, and they perform them according to their ability. They are also with the people, with the worshippers, doing what the able-bodied do by looking at them. Also, today, praise be to Allah, education for the deaf and mute has generally been found; they have been provided with education through which they know the matters of their religion and their worldly affairs. Yes.

May Allah reward you,
