Will there be madd?
Question
Will there be madd if there is a shaddah (tashdid) over yaa, and the yaa is preceded by a kasra? Such an occurence is there in the last words of Ayat Al Kursi ..... و هـو العلِيُّ العظيم
Similarly, will there be madd if there is a shaddah over waw, and the waw is preceded by a damma?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
There will not be any madd in both scenarios. The letters of madd are:
Ø An alif ا which is saakin and is preceded by a fatha
Ø A waw و which is saakin and is preceded by a dhamma
Ø A yaa ى which is saakin and preceded by a kasrah[i]
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
