Reading from the Mushaf Without Moving the Lips

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Does a man who looks at the Mushaf without moving his lips count as a reader of the Qur'an by doing so?

Answer:
No, it is obligatory to vocalize the Qur'an; it is obligatory to vocalize at least enough to hear oneself.
