How to recite those verses of the Quran which have no harkat at the beginning

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: What is the ruling for reciting those verses of the Qur’an which have no harkat at the very first hurf? E.g verse no.5 of surah al ma’oon. What is the ruling to start reciting this ayat with ‘zabar’ on alif if we stop at the previous ayat? Likewise we start some ayaats with ‘zair’ harkat on the first hurf if we don’t find any harkat at the first hurf. e.g verse no. 28 of surah al’fajr’.

Bismillaah

A: If you know the right harkat then you may read accordingly. If you don’t know then ask someone nearby as to how this is to be read.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
