Is it necessary to unvocalize the emphasized letter (mushaddad) when reciting the Holy Quran, such as in "الضالّين" (al-ḍāllīn) to become "الضالْلين" (al-ḍāl-līn), while it is not unvocalized in words like "لعلّكم" (laʿallakum)? And is there a rule for this?

It is not permissible to break up a doubled letter (mushaddad) in the Qur’an; rather, it must be pronounced as a single, doubled letter. Correct recitation does not depend solely on what is written, but must be taken from the mouths of proficient reciters, as recitation is a followed tradition ( muttaba‘ah). Therefore, it is advisable to accompany one of the proficient shaykhs to receive the recitation directly from them, as the rules of cannot be mastered except through direct reception.
