Is it permissible to intentionally recite the Madd Mutassil with two or four counts in the recitation of Warsh from Nafi' via the way of Al-Azraq, knowing that the Madd Mutassil is obligatorily recited with six counts in this recitation?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

For Warsh, the madd muttasil (connected madd) is extended by six harakat (vowel counts) from the way of Al-Azraq, and by four harakat from the way of Al-Asbahani. There is no madd muttasil of two harakat for any reciter; if it occurs, it is a hidden mistake (laḥn khafī) which does not incur sin, but it is a deviation from the recommended tajwid. Combining narrations and recitations, such as reciting for Warsh from the way of Al-Azraq with the madd muttasil extended by four harakat, is permissible. The measures of the mudūd (extensions) vary depending on the style of recitation; the madd is shortened in hadr (fast recitation) compared to taḥqīq (slow, deliberate recitation).
