Stopping on the ends of Words Part  4

Stopping with a pure sukoon   and what is allowed with it  part 2

That which can stop only on a pure sukoon, and  and  are not permitted.

In the last tidbit lesson, now located in the tidbit archives, we state that there are five different categories in which we can only stop with a pure sukoon and no other way of stopping is allowed.  We will discussed three of them last lesson and continue with the other two this lesson. 

 4. The female  which has two divisions:

A.  The first school of thought:

B.  The second school of thought:
 Allowance of  and  when stopping depending on the vowel of the  when continuing.  We can stop with   in this school of thought when there is a kasrah or dhammah on the  , and stop with  when there is a dhammah on the
C.  The third school of thought:
