How do the hearing-impaired people practise recitation and tasbihat while establishing prayer?
The hearing-impaired people are equal to other Muslims in terms of being accountable for worships. Therefore, they are responsible for establishing prayer, observing fast, and performing other worships. Takbir al-iftihah and qiraat, which are among the fardhs of the prayer, need to be uttered. However, it is enough for the hearing-impaired people to only think them; they do not need to move their tongues (al-Fatawa al-Hindiyyah, I, 76; Ibn Abidin, Radd al-Muhtar, II, 181). Because on no soul does Allah place a burden greater than it can bear (Baqarah 2/286).
