Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : But what is its status regarding substituting for the kasrah and the fathah?
The Shaykh : Yes, yes, it substitutes for the fathah and the kasrah. However, if the dual is in the accusative or genitive case, we change it from alif to yaa. This does not mean that the yaa is a substitute for the alif; rather, the alif is the marker of the nominative case.
