Making zikr in the mind
Question
Is it allowed to read zikr in your mind without moving your lips or tongue?
Answer
Yes. Zikr is the remembrance of the heart. However, through one moving one's tongue while making zikr, one will receive an extra reward as another limb of the body is also engaged in zikr (remembrance of Allah Ta'ala).
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
