The Talbiyah of a Person who Cannot Speak (Dumb)
Question
If a person cannot speak, how will he recite the talbiyah to enter into ihraam?
Answer
The ruling for a person who cannot speak is that he will recite the talbiyah in his heart. However, though he cannot speak, it is mustahab for him to move his tongue.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
