The Ruling on Dhikr Without Moving the Tongue
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We have with us the sister connected, Umm Muhammad, from Riyadh. Please, Sister Umm Muhammad, your question is brief, if you please. Peace be upon you. Peace be upon you. Shaykh, what is the ruling on remembering Allah with the heart, like when I say "I seek forgiveness from Allah" without moving my lips?
Answer:
Remembering Allah with the heart alone is not considered sufficient; it is necessary to move the tongue with it, and to hear your own voice in the dhikr. As for remembering Allah with the heart, this does not suffice in place of utterance. Yes.
