Pronouncing Arabic letters in Salah with the same sound but with different makhraj.

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by DarulIftaBirmingham

Question:

Assalamualaikum

I wanted to ask whether pronouncing Arabic letters in Salah with the same sound but different makhraj is valid? For example, pronouncing ن like the English ‘n’ or pronouncing ت like English ‘t’ without using its makhraj of the tip of the tongue

 


 


بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيْم


In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

Answer:

It is compulsory for a person to learn the basic rules of tajwīd such as the different makhārij (pronunciation) of the letters and their qualities, to the best of one’s ability.[1]

In a nutshell one will not be permitted to recite the Arabic letters in the way in which the English letters are recited.

Only Allah knows best
