The Ruling on Reading with the Eyes Without Vocalization

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a person recites the Qur'an with his eyes only, without any sound or movement of the lips, is his recitation valid in prayer or outside of it?

Answer:
No, no, he must vocalize the Qur'an in prayer; otherwise, it is not considered recitation if he does not vocalize it to the extent that he hears himself, at the very least. Yes.
