Labial Idgham (Idgham Shafawi)

Tajweed Rules
1 min read

If a moving (voweled) mim follows the sakinah mim, the first is merged into the second with ghunnah for the duration of two harakahs, becoming a single doubled (shaddah) mim; this is called 'the minor idgham of two identical letters' (idgham al-mithlayn al-saghir).

Example
لَهُم مَّا يَشَاءُونَ — كَم مِّن فِئَةٍ
