The Shaykh : He said:
"Two options exist for the three-letter feminine noun with a middle sukun regarding masculine declension, *** and foreignness like Hind, and prohibition is more correct"
(May Allah have mercy on him), meaning: The scholars have two options regarding the three-letter feminine noun with a middle sukun if it lacks this?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Foreignness and masculine declension, meaning: it is not a male name by which a female was named, and it is not foreign. He says: In it, there are two options, yes: declension and its absence, for example: Hind. Is the word Hind Arabic or foreign?
The student: Arabic.
The Shaykh : Three letters with a middle sukun, is it a name for a male or a female?
The student: A female.
The Shaykh : A female, so in Hind, two options are permissible, two options are permissible: declension and its absence. So you say: I passed by Hind, is this correct?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : Huh?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : I passed by Hind?
The student: Likewise.
The Shaykh : Is this correct? Well, you say: This is Hind, is this correct?
The student: Correct.
The Shaykh : And this is Hind, correct. And you say: I saw Hind, and I saw Hind, is this correct? But Ibn Malik says: "and prohibition is more correct". Prohibition from what?
The student: From declension.
The Shaykh : Prohibition from declension. And the summary of these two verses is: Every proper noun ending with the feminine taa is prohibited from declension, with a condition.
The student: No, absolutely.
The Shaykh : Absolutely, without a condition. Well, and every feminine proper noun that exceeds three letters is prohibited from declension, correct?
The student: Correct.
The Shaykh : Or it is foreign, or it has a middle harak, or it is?
The student: A male name.
The Shaykh : A name for a male by which a female was named, is that right?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : Well, as for if it is a three-letter noun with a middle sukun, a three-letter noun with a middle sukun, and no male was named by it, Ibn Malik says: In it, there are two options, and that prohibition?
The student: Is more correct.
The Shaykh : Is more correct, and that prohibition is more correct, and Allah knows best.
