Question:
The question is about those who do not distinguish in pronunciation between the letter ḍād and the letter ḍā, and they seek guidance on whether this action is considered a form of mispronunciation (lahn) or not?
Answer:
Many people are unable to distinguish between the ḍād and the ḍā, and that is excused for them, and it does not harm them. Their recitation is valid, and their prayer is valid, and praise be to Allah. For Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says: [Surat al-Taghābun: 16]. This is a general rule. And He, the Exalted, says: [Surat al-Baqarah: 286]. And He (Exalted and Majestic is He) says: [Surat al-Baqarah: 185].
Al-Hafiz Ibn Kathir (may Allah have mercy on him) explicitly stated this issue in his book of tafsir (exegesis), and mentioned that the correct opinion among the scholars is to be lenient in this matter, and that there is no blame in it. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
