The minimum acceptable recitation involves uttering sounds audible to oneself, or sounds that would be audible if the person possessed normal hearing, similar to the ruling on the minimum utterance for the Takbir (saying Allahu Akbar). Anything less than this audible recitation is not considered valid recitation.
