A learner calls حَمْرَاءُ alif maqsurah merely because it is feminine. Which correction is accurate?
Alif al-Ta'nith: Maqsurah and Mamdudah
- It is maqsurah because every feminine word ends in ى.
- It is mamdudah because its written ending is اء.
- It has no feminine marker because hamzah cannot mark feminine.
- It uses ta marbutah because it is an adjective.
