After a verse ending or a recognized stopping place, one may resume at a suitable following word. When breath breaks at an unsuitable place, do not automatically restart from the next word; repeat from a suitable earlier expression so the meaning remains connected.
Ask: will the following phrase give the correct complete sense on its own? If not, resume earlier.
Stopping inside a word is not a valid waqf. The same caution applies to elements whose recited form is joined so that severing them produces a defective utterance.
Nor should ibtidāʾ begin from an incomplete or meaningless piece. Check the complete word, its immediate construction and the sentence meaning before resuming.
