Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah bless you. This is a questioner for the program who says: A Muslim worships by reciting the Qur'an. Is there a reward for reciting the Qur'an with the heart, or is it obligatory to move the tongue during recitation?
Answer:
It is not called recitation, and there is no reward for it unless one vocalizes it, whether he raises his voice and recites aloud or recites quietly. The important thing is that he must move his tongue and vocalize the Qur'an; this is the recitation. As for bringing it to mind, that is not called recitation or recitation. Yes.
