Ruling on Praying Without Pronouncing or Moving the Lips
The questioner says: What is the ruling on praying in the heart without moving the tongue due to the effect of anesthesia for dental treatment, and the presence of cotton, which prevents me from moving my tongue? Is my prayer in this way valid?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is not valid without recitation, and there is no recitation without pronouncing the Quran, and mere remembrance in the heart is not sufficient, and God knows best.
