If you did everything in your ability to eschew the mistakes in reciting during the prayer, there would be no harm or blame on you after that. If burdensome, you may omit or silently recite the remaining (Sunna) wording in the prayer. The verbal portions of the prayer that is obligatory to be uttered at least to the extent of being able to hear oneself under usual circumstances and hearing ability are the opening Takbir (saying Allahu Akbar), the Fatiha, and the final testification of faith (tashahhud). Allah says: “Allah does not burden a soul beyond that it can bear” Obligatory Recitation Thank you for your kind words and prayers.įirst, your prayers are valid, as you are not accountable for what you have no control over. May Allah alleviate our difficulties and guide us to that which is pleasing to Him. In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful and Compassionate. However, am I obliged to try to recite the words of the prayer, even if I can only say incomprehensible externally? Are my prayers even valid? Answer My heart is present and knows the meaning of what I’m saying. Sometimes I can recite okay with difficulty, but other times my speech comes out as complete gibberish (no exaggeration), and that’s the best I can do, even if I try to repeat my words repeatedly. I have a severe recurring speech impediment that often comes up in prayer. May Allah bless you all, accept your good deeds, and make everything easy. Answered by Shaykh Irshaad Sedick Questionįirst, I’d like to thank you for all the good things you’re doing for the Ummah on this website.
