The Shaykh :"And in the interrogative, if it is declined, its alif is deleted *** and its beginning is the ha if you pause"
Now, regarding the interrogative "ma," meaning the interrogative "ma," if it is declined, its alif is deleted obligatorily. Look at the saying of Allah the Exalted: Where is the alif?
The student: Deleted.
The Shaykh : Huh?
The student: Deleted.
The Shaykh : It is deleted. If someone said "amma yatasaa'alun," that would be incorrect. Is it "lam" or "lama"? "Lam fa'alta kaza?" (Why did you do so?) "Lam fa'alta kaza?" (Why did you do so?) is correct, but "lama fa'alta kaza" is incorrect. Now:
"And its beginning is the ha if you pause"
If you pause, its beginning is the ha. So you say, if my action was correct, then "lamahu"? Meaning, "lam talmanni" (why did you blame me), for example, you say "lamahu."
Now, regarding the interrogative "ma," meaning the interrogative "ma," if it is declined, its alif is deleted obligatorily. Look at the saying of Allah the Exalted:
