Question Assalamualaikum wbt, I would like to clarify my understanding on Mad Lazim Harfi Muthaqqal and Mukhaffaf. In the phrase alif, lam mim, sad, () is it correct if I say the letter mim is a mad harfi mukhaffaf because the last letter (mim with a fixed sukoon) does not merge with the letter Sad? And the letter lam also a mad lazim harfi muthaqqal because the last letter (mim) is merged into the next mim? Is the term 'merge' here has the same meaning as in idgham and ikhfa' which requires ghunnah? Is it correct if I say that in the phrase 'ain, siin, qaf the letters 'ain will be leen and the letter siin is a mad lazim harfi muthaqqal because the last letter (nun) is merged with the letter qaf? Jazaakumullah khoir. Answer Wa alaikum assalaam wa rahmatu Allahi wa barakatuh. Your first questions were answered correctly be yourself, masha' Allah. Yes, the letter in the opening of surah Al-'Araaf, is medd laazim mukhaffaf harfi because the last meem of the written out and read letter has a fixed sukoon and does not merge into the first letter of the written out and read letter. The letter in the same combination of letters, , is medd laazim muthaqqal harfi because the last letter of the written out and pronounced letter is a fixed meem saakinah and it merges into the first letter of the next written out letter, which is the letter . There is then a meem saakinah meeting a meem with a vowel, which is the reason for the idghaam.
The term "merge" means idghaam. The
linguistic meaning of the word idghaam is: merge, or insert. This is what
happens when we make idghaam; one letter merges or inserts into another. The
term ikhfa' though, means hide, and does not mean merge. The opening letters
of surah Ash-Shooraa, Wa iyyakum wa-l-muslimeen. |
