TAJWEED COURSE LECTURE NOTES. LECTURE 10- RULES OF MIIM SAAKINA, PART 2

 Idgham Shafawi (إِدْغَام شَفَوِي)

Idgham Shafawi defines “lip assimilation.” When one Meem Saakin is followed by another Meem (م). this rule is true. “Shafawi” means the lips, while “Idgham” signifies “merging” or “assimilation.” The two Meems are combined into one under this rule, and the nasal sound (ghunnah) is prolonged.
