In Surat Yusuf, why is it inflected with a fatḥah instead of a kasrah?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If you mean the word "Yusuf," then it is in the accusative and genitive cases with a fatḥah instead of a kasrah because it is diptote (prevented from full declension) due to being a proper noun of foreign origin, as it is a foreign proper noun exceeding three letters. If you mean another word, please specify it.
