Question
Assalamu Alaikum
My
question is how to pronounce
correctly,
And how we can show by reading, that it is dual feminine gender, when hamza
wasl is coming after it.
Jazakallah khairan.
Answer
Wa alaikum assalaam wa
rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
To pronounce these two
words we pronounce the
on
the
and then
immediately go to the
saakinah
of the word
because
the hamzah al-wasl is not pronounced when continuing reading. The alif
represented the dual form of the verb is dropped in pronunciation because of
the rule when two saakin letters meet between two words. The voweling shows
that it a dual female verb because there is a
on
the
.
If it were singular, the word
would have acquired
a kasrah on the normally saakin
because
of the Arabic rule of forbiddance of two saakin letters between two words.
Therefore the singular female and dual would have different vowels on the
so
nothing is needed to show that it is dual female gender. .
