The questioner : If it is difficult to teach them Arabic, what is obligatory for them, O Shaykh, regarding recitation? Is it in their language?
The Shaykh : Some scholars said that he should recite it in his own language, for Allah does not burden a soul beyond its capacity. Others said no; the obligatory dhikr should be translated for him, because translating the dhikr is permissible, but translating the Qur'an is not permissible.
The questioner : What suffices for him in this case, I mean?
The Shaykh : Subhan Allah, Alhamdulillah, La ilaha illa Allah, and Allahu Akbar suffice for him. These are translated for him, and he recites them in his language. Yes?
