Reciting the Quraan Shareef without moving the lips and tongue
Question
1. When reciting Quraan, is it permissible to read without moving the lips and tongue?
2. When reciting Quraan, is it permissible to move the tongue but not the lips?
Answer
1. This will not be counted as recitation. Recitation is with the tongue. And many Ulama are of the opinion that it must be audible to the reciter at least.
2. That is also not recitation.
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.
