IRSYAD HUKUM SIRI KE-301: BACAAN DALAM SOLAT UNTUK ORANG YANG MENGHIDAPI HIPERSALIVASI
How should a person with chronic hypersalivation who has difficulty speaking normally perform the recitations in prayer?
Short answer
The spoken pillars of prayer should originally be recited audibly to oneself, provided one's hearing is sound and there is no disturbance.

Summary
The spoken pillars of prayer should originally be recited audibly to oneself, provided one's hearing is sound and there is no disturbance. Someone unable to articulate them does what is within their ability, including moving the lips and uvula as far as possible. Wiping away saliva with a tissue or cloth during prayer is not a problem, as such slight movement is permitted.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Rukun Qauli hendaklah dibaca sehingga orang tersebut mendengar apa yang dibacakan dan sampai ke telinganya.
