Ruling on a person in a state of major ritual impurity reciting the Qur'an with the heart without moving the lips
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a questioner from Yemen—Taiz—asking about the ruling on reciting the Qur'an with the heart, meaning: silently, without moving the lips, while the person is also in a state of major ritual impurity?
Answer:
This is not recitation; this is bringing to mind, this is contemplation and bringing to mind. This is not recitation. Recitation must be heard; it must be with the lips... with the tongue and the lips. There must be something that is heard, that the person hears. So reciting with the heart is not recitation; it is only reflection and contemplation. For this reason, there is nothing wrong with a person in a state of major ritual impurity or anyone else reflecting and contemplating with the heart. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you.
