Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, we have studied and learned a rule in grammar, which is that if the counted noun precedes the number, such as "the seven women," it agrees with it, but if the number precedes the counted noun, it disagrees with it, such as "seven women." Is this rule in accordance with what is found in the recitations?
Answer:
No, the number from three to nine is the opposite of the counted noun. From three to nine, you say "three men" and "three women," "nine men" and "nine women," and so on for the numbers in between.
