Is it sufficient to recite dhikr and the Qur'an with the heart, or is it obligatory to move the lips?

The questioner : Yes, he asks: Is it sufficient to send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with the heart, or is it necessary to move the lips, O Shaykh?

The Shaykh : All dhikr and the Qur'an require vocalization.

The presenter : The second question, my brother.

The questioner : If a person intends to read the Qur'an with his heart, he is not recorded as having the reward of reading. If he intends to remember Allah with his heart, he is not recorded as having the reward of dhikr. If he sends blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with his heart, he is not recorded as having the reward of sending blessings.
