AL-IKHFAA’ ASH-SHAFAWI (الإخفاءَالشفويَ )
Ikhfaa means: hide .
So it is the hiding of the origination of Meem by not letting the two lips come in complete contact.
Letters of Ikhfaa Shafawi ( ب )
The way of pronounciation:
When ‘Meem sakinْ ( م ) is followed by the letter ‘ba( ’ب ) , they sound like as if the ‘meem’ is hiding behind the ‘ba’.
The ‘Meem’ is concealed or hidden by the ‘ba’. The word is pronounced with ghunna – the ghunna will be held for two counts.
Examples :
Shafawi means : Articulated from the two lips. It has one letter which is ب
If Meem is followed immediately by Ba and this does not occur except in between two words ,we then hide the meem with accompanying ghunnah.
Hiding means in between Ith-har and Idgham , The lips close on with the مthe sound is held with a ghunnah for the appropriate period of time, then the lips separate with the letter ( ب ).
