However, to ensure correctness in this practice and to understand whether it is preferable with or without, Shaykh Abdul-Rahim Reasat provides clarification on the rules and guidelines surrounding it.

Shaykh Abdul-Rahim Reasat embarked on his journey of learning Arabic Grammar and Morphology alongside pursuing a degree in English and History. Following his graduation, he journeyed to Damascus to delve deeper into Arabic studies, Hanafi Fiqh, Theology, and more under the guidance of esteemed scholars such as Shaykh Adnan Darwish and Shaykh ‘Abd al-Rahman Arjan al-Binsawi.
