How long does it take to pronounce a mushaddad (doubled) letter? Is it one vowel, two vowels, or somewhere in between?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A letter with a shaddah (doubled letter) is pronounced like any other letter, without elongation or addition, unless it is a ghunnah (nasal sound) letter, in which case the ghunnah is for two counts, similar to a natural madd (elongation).
