– QUALITIES OF LETTERS OR SIFAAT AL HUROOF PART -3   صفات الحروف الجزء الرابع

Without Opposites Permanent Qualities الصفات اللازمة غير المتضادة

4-Inhiraaf (inclined sound)  الانحراف

• Definition: the leaning of the tongue away from its makhraj until it nears another makhraj.
• This quality is found in 2 letters and are called munharifah .
• This quality is found in only the following two letters: ( ل ر )
• Therefore, the (ل ) is pronounced with an inclination towards the makhraj of the (ر ) and vice versa.

 This is more of a caution than a rule

• letter ( لام ) The tip of the tongue sticks at the articulation point of the ( لام )

Letter راء sticks at the left and right of the very tip to the second part of the articulation point ie. the gums of the two front teeth.

5-Takreer (to repeat)  التكرير

• Definition: the quality of takreer is to pronounce in a repeated manner.
•  The quality of takreer is found in one letter and it is called mukarrarah.
• Therefore, while the ( ر ) is being pronounced from its makhraj, naturally the tongue makes a slight vibration producing a repeated sound (i.e. rolling of the tongue). Care must be taken to avoid exaggeration of the vibration, otherwise instead of a single there may be 2 ( ر ) or instead of a double (mushaddad ),there may be many ( ر ).

This is more of a caution than a rule – takreer should be avoided
