I have tried searching for an Islamic interpretation or hadeeth or a scholarly paper regarding mentally disabled people in Islam but have not found anything regarding this matter. My question is, if someone has a son/daughter who is mentally challenged (not autism, retardation) from birth, is it a curse from Allah? How should they handle it?

ANSWER: No problem in reciting as many surahs and as many rakahs as you want in taraweeh and this can be prayed both in congregation as well as individually but definitely it’s more rewarding if you prayed in congregation. The imam can hold the Qur’an or mobile and recite from it the longer surahs.
