Akses Pengajian Hadis bagi Orang Kurang Upaya (OKU) Penglihatan di Malaysia

Hadith is essential in the Muslim community, even for the visually impaired people. However, the history of hadith study for the visually impaired in Malaysia has not been addressed in detail because the research connected to hadith study in general involve the normal group. Due to their lack of visual senses, the visually impaired people have a different access to learning hadith than the typical group. Even now, it is difficult to find hadith-related reading material for the visually impaired people. As a result, the visually impaired people are among those who abandon in the study of hadith. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the access utilised by the visually impaired people to learn hadith. A qualitative design is used in this research. Data was collected using document analysis and interviews, which were then analyzed using a descriptive analysis approach. The results indicate that hadith studies for the visually impaired in Malaysia is not taken seriously and is limited to a small group of visually impaired people acting on their own initiative. The research also discovered that the visually impaired people use social, electronic, print, and audio media to learn hadith. This study has recommendations for relevant organisations to pay close attention to hadith study in the daily lives of the visually impaired people.
