Is the letter "dal" in the word "al-ʿadl" subject to qalqalah or sukoon when pausing at the verse: "And when you judge between people, that you judge with justice"?
The letter "Dal" (د) is one of the letters of Qalqalah. For it to be pronounced with Qalqalah, it must be saakin (have a sukoon). The "Dal" in the word "al-ʿadl" (العدل) is saakin and pronounced with Qalqalah both when continuing recitation (wasl) and when stopping (waqf). The issue of two successive sukoons (on the "Dal" and the "Lam") when stopping on the word is not among the forbidden successions of two sukoons within a single word, because the sukoon of the "Lam" is accidental due to stopping. This is permissible, whether the first saakin letter is a letter of madd (lengthening), leen (softness), or a regular saakin consonant. Stopping on the word "al-ʿadl" does not remove the Qalqalah of the "Dal" within it.
