I would like to know what is the specific ruling on a letter with dhammah followed by yaa sakinah. May Allah increase you in beneficial knowledge and specifically knowledge about tajweed.

These links have a page of listings of surahs for both of them with recitation of the Qur’an, and you will need to scroll down to surah Ya Seen, then click on either the MP3 or Real Player, depending the set up on your computer. It may be best if you listen to a recording of Sheikh Al-Husary or Sheikh Abdullah Basfar and listen how they pronounce this word combination and compare it with how you read it. When reading the combination, one reads the with running of the sound and breath and then should go directly from the with the kasrah to the saakinah, with no lengthening of the letter. It is not joined with the, but the has the running of the sound and breath with it, so when saakinah, has more timing than some of the other letters. The word does have a kasrah on the but with no shaddah, and this is pronounced clearly. It may be that you somehow pronounced it with a shaddah or put some sort of emphasis on the other than the correct sound, we cannot tell by the transliteration. It is difficult to be able to determine with transliteration what was pronounced incorrectly so that the teacher corrected you. Wa alaikum assalaam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. Today in my tajweed lesson I was reading surah yasin and in ayah 12 in the third word I pronounced the ya with a kasra-so nuhyi'lmauta-but my teacher said it is pronounced nuhiillmauta-(it is difficult to type phonetically)- but can you explain why we do not pronounce the ya clearly with a kasra here.and instead seem to join the ha with the ya then put a kasra under this merged letter/sound.I hope this makes sense inshallah.
