Question
Assalamu
alaikum,
Some of the
turuq of Hafs an Aasim allow for a saktah on the saakin before the hamzah.
What would be the correct way of stopping on the word juz' for those
turuq that allow a saktah here?
Are there
separate rules for stopping on a word that contains a saakin before
the hamzah (such as above or stopping on fil aakhirah) with saktah?

Answer
Wa alaikum
assalaam wa rahmatu Allahi wa barakatuh,
There are two
tareeq in the turuq of Hafs ‘an ‘Aasim that have a
on
a saakin letter that is not a medd letter before a hamzah.
One way, called
, has a
on
the
saakinah
of the
if
followed by a hamzah, such as in the word
and
,
on the word
in any of its forms (with a
fathah, dhammah or kasrah), and between two words, such as:
, and
.
Again, this does not apply if the saakin letter before the hamzah is a
medd letter.
The other
tareeq is called
and
in addition to the saktaat described above, it also has a sakt on the saakin
letter before a hamzah within a word, such as the word:
,
, or
.
When the hamzah is the last letter of the word and it is preceded by a sukoon
as in the question, such is the word
, or
, and we are stopping on the word, then
there are two possible ways of stopping. We
either stop without the sakt, as it would be impossible to do with a pure
sukoon on hamzah and pronounce the hamzah since there would be two saakin
letters meeting with a sakt in between, or if the word ends with a fixed or
conjugated dhammah or kasrah, we can stop on the word with a sakt after the
saakin letter and with
on
the hamzah, which is the last letter.
This also holds true for stopping on the word
with a kasrah or a dhammah in
as
well as
.
In the poem:
, Ash-Sheikh
Abdulziz ‘Uyoon As-Sood said:
And
stopping on a hamzah as the last letter
in the sakt the rawm is required as in “dif” [meaning as in
stopping on the word

If
the conditions for
are
not present in a word ending with a hamzah preceded by a saakin, such as:
then the only way to stop on the word in
this tareeq-
- is with a pure sukoon and no
.
Summary:
When reading the words with a hamzah as the last letter, preceded
by a sukoon and the conditions for
exist,
as in
,
there are two allowable ways of stopping on the word when reading in with one
of the two tareeq that have sakt on a saakin before a hamzah
: one way with no
and
a pure sukoon on the hamzah, the other way, with a
and stopping with
on
the hamzah. If the conditions for
stopping with
on
the hamzah do not exist, then we can only stop without the sakt and with a
pure sukoon on the hamzah.
