Question Assalamu'alaykum, Answer Wa alaikum assalaam wa rahmatu Allahi wa barakatuh. Wa iyyaakum and may Allah reward you also for your beneficial questions. The ghunnah, as indicated in the question, is intrinsic to the two letters and , and should not be present in any other letter. The ghunnah of the idghaam with a ghunnah comes from the , not from the following letter. It is a common error by some (both in Arabs and in non-Arabs) to have a nasalization of many letters in addition to the and , and this is most frequently found in the medd letters, particularly the letter , but also sometimes found in the alif and lengthened , even if the medd is only two vowel counts. It is avoidable and can be fixed with practice. The sound needs to be focused out the mouth and not back up through the nasal passage. One can check whether this is present or not in their recitation by closing off the nostrils while lengthening one of the medd letters. Two other letters that are not medd letters but sometimes erroneously read with a ghunnah are the and . Some students of the Qur’an have a ghunnah present in almost all the letters, but again, with Allah's help and work, it can be fixed. . Wa assalaam alaikum |
