Does one who looks at the mushaf without moving his lips receive reward?

His Eminence the Shaykh: Abdul Aziz ibn Abdullah ibn Baz, may Allah preserve him. Peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon you. As for what follows: Some people take the mushaf and read through it without moving their lips. Does the name of reciting the Qur'an apply to this state, or is it necessary to vocalize it and make it heard in order to deserve the reward of reciting the Qur'an? And does a person receive reward for looking at the mushaf? Please issue a ruling for us, may Allah reward you with good.
Answer: And upon you be peace, mercy, and the blessings of Allah. There is no harm in looking at the Qur'an without reciting it for the sake of reflection, understanding, and grasping the meaning. However, he is not considered a reciter, and he does not obtain the virtue of recitation unless he vocalizes the Qur'an, even if he does not make those around him hear it. This is based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): narrated by Muslim.
And his (peace and blessings be upon him) meaning by "its companions" is those who act upon it, as in the other hadiths. And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: reported by al-Tirmidhi and al-Darimi with a sound chain. And he is not considered a reciter unless he vocalizes it, as the scholars have explicitly stated. And success is from Allah.
