What is the meaning of qira'ah with the tongue? Does someone performing salah alone have to hear slightly what he/she reads? Is it not valid if the lips do not move? The Answer
Dear Brother / Sister,
It is not regarded as reading (qir'ah) to read Fatiha or other surahs in the mind without moving the tongue and producing a sound; that is, by doing so, qira'ah that is a rukn of salah is not fulfilled. Someone needs to read with a voice that can be heard by himself/herself, by pronouncing the letters in such a way that will not disturb the people around if there are any.
It is essential for the tongue to move in qira'ah. When the tongue moves, naturally the lips will move, too.
