If the ma'mum cannot hear the imam due to deafness, is it valid for him to recite?

Question : The Shaykh said: No, not for the deaf.

Answer : No, not for the deaf. Deafness is the inability to hear. That is, if he does not hear the imam because of deafness. Because if he recites while deaf, he distracts those around him from listening to the recitation of their imam. However, if it is due to distance, then all the worshippers will recite, and no disturbance will occur. Furthermore, it is generally the case that the one who does not hear due to deafness raises his voice, because it is known that a deaf person raises his voice. So if he recites in this state and raises his voice, he disturbs the worshippers.
