As Hawaii is one of the 50 United States of America... Yes. They use ASL.
American Sign Language is used throughout the United States and North America, and so Hawaii does use ASL within its Deaf community. However, there is a Hawaiian Pidgin Sign Language (the "pidgin" referring to spoken Hawaiian Pidgin; the sign language isn't itself a pidgin). HPSL has largely disappeared.
