Summary
The spoken pillars of prayer must normally be recited at least loudly enough for one's own ears to hear. For a person whose tongue or mouth ulcer makes speaking difficult, it is not obligatory to make the recitation audible to himself. He need only move his tongue as much as he is able. If he recovers afterwards, the prayer already performed remains valid and need not be repeated.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Jika seseorang berada di dalam keadaan sebegini, maka tidak wajib untuknya memperdengarkan bacaan rukun qauli tersebut kepada dirinya.
