Pronunciation of شيماء
Question
In the name "شيماء" Shaymaa' Do you do the elongation when pronouncing it or do you just join the ma straight to the hamzah without elongating? So pronounced like "Shayma'" rather than "Shaymaa'", which one is correct?
Answer
It will be with elongation.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
