Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon you, O honorable Shaykh. Is a person rewarded for reading the Qur'an merely by looking at it with the eyes, without moving the tongue, in the same way he is rewarded when he reads it with his tongue in an audible voice?
The Shaykh : No. He is not rewarded for it, because reading is necessary, and reading must be utterance with the tongue. However, the one who reads it with his heart is rewarded for passing the Qur'an through his heart, although he does not obtain the reward. Yes.
