The answer

Previous fatwas have clarified that for Al-Fatiha and the obligatory ذكر (remembrances) in prayer, one must move the tongue such that the worshiper can hear himself. If one does not move his tongue for a single letter of Al-Fatiha, and thus does not recite it, his prayer is invalid. The same applies if he omits a single letter from the sufficient portion of the first , and does not utter it, his prayer is invalid. What is said regarding the first Tashahhud also applies to the final Tashahhud, which is a pillar.
