Pronunciation of the du’a when entering the home

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by HadithAnswers.com

In the du’a when entering the home, is the letter lam in the word المولج read with fatha or kasrah?

Answer

One may recite the meem with either a fathah or a dammah as stated by several Muhaddithun and the lam with a fathah, since this is how is was reported in the narration.

Refer to Sharh ibn Raslan on Sunan Abi Dawud, Hadith: 5096, Shaykh ‘Awwamah’s edition of Sunan Abi Dawud, Hadith: 5055 and Al-Futuhatur Rabbaniyyah, vol.1 pg.342.

The last reference above also allows a kasrah on the lam [with a fathah on the meem], based on the linguistic pronunciation.

Summary

The famous pronunciation of this word in the du’a is correct. (mawlaji- with a Fathah on the meem as well as the lam)

Here is the full du’a for the benefit of the readers:

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ الْمَُوْلَِجِ وَخَيْرَ الْمَُخْرَجِ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَلَجْنَا وَبِسْمِ اللَّهِ خَرَجْنَا وَعَلَى اللَّهِ رَبِّنَا تَوَكَّلْنَا

Allahuma ini asaluka khayral mawlaji/mulaji/mawliji  wa khayral makhraji/mukhraji bismillahi walajna wa bismillahi kharajna wa ‘alallahi rabbina tawakkalna  

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best,
