Q-ID0142

The waqt mutlaq (rules in Tajweed)

30 Dec 2013

Question

Whilst reciting the Qur’an if the waqt mutlaq with the ط (Taa) appears in the middle of an ayah – do we have to stop? Or is it permissible to continue reading?

Answer

The ط (Ţā) is the symbol of the word Muţlaq (The Absolute Pause). It is better to pause here. After the break, the recitation can continue from the next word.

Allah knows best.
