A person making himself hear the dhikr

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Is it obligatory for a person to make himself hear the dhikr?

Answer:
Yes, indeed. If he does not hear himself, it means he did not utter it. Dhikr with the heart alone is not sufficient. He must utter it and hear himself. Yes.
