Labial Idhhar (Izhhar Shafawi)

Tajweed Rules
1 min read

If any letter other than ba and mim follows the sakinah mim, the mim must be pronounced with a clear labial idhhar, without ghunnah. The greatest care against concealing it must be taken before the letters fa and waw.

Example
أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ — عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ — هُمْ فِيهَا
