The ruling on reciting al-Fatihah and the dhikr of prayer with the heart
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: Some people in prayer recite al-Fatihah and the dhikr with their hearts but do not recite them with their tongues. Is that sufficient for them?
It is not correct to say that so-and-so recited unless he vocalized it. As for when he passes it through his heart, he has not recited, and it is not sufficient for him in prayer; because he has left al-Fatihah in reality, and left the tasbih, and left the takbir. However, the scholars differed on whether it is required that he hear himself, meaning that there is a sound from the movements of his tongue and lips that he hears, or whether it is not required? And the correct view is that it is not required that he hear himself, but it is required that he vocalize.
