Is it permissible for one who is reciting the Qur’an to pause at the Almighty’s saying: "وَهُزِّي إِلَيْكِ بِجِذْعِ النَّخْلَةِ" (And shake towards you the trunk of the palm tree), then to resume with: "النخلةُ تساقط عليك" (The palm tree will drop upon you), by raising "النخلة" (An-Nakhlatu) on the basis that it is a subject (mubtada’)?

Stopping at "وَهُزِّي إِلَيْكِ بِجِذْعِ النَّخْلَةِ" (and shake towards you the trunk of the palm tree) and starting with "النخلة" (the palm tree) in the nominative case is not permissible, because it is a distortion of the Qur’an. "النخلة" in the verse is in the genitive case. Whoever stops at it must start with an independent phrase such as "وَهُزِّي إِلَيْكِ..." (and shake towards you...). What is excused in an اضطراري (obligatory/necessary) stop is not excused in a new beginning. Therefore, if the reciter is compelled to stop, they must resume from a point where it is permissible to start, so that the meaning remains sound.
