عِنْدَ كِتَابَةِ الْهَمْزَةِ وَسَطَ الْكَلِمَةِ نُقَارِنُ بَيْنَ حَرَكَتِهَا وَحَرَكَةِ الْحَرْفِ الَّذِي يَسْبِقُهَا، فَنَكْتُبُهَا عَلَى الْحَرْفِ الَّذِي يُنَاسِبُ أَقْوَى الْحَرَكَتَيْنِ.

When writing the hamza in the middle of a word, we compare its vowel and the vowel of the letter that precedes it, then we write it on the letter that suits the stronger of the two vowels.

لَقَدْ تَعَرَّفْتَ فِيمَا سَبَقَ أَنَّ هُنَاكَ ثَلَاثَ حَرَكَاتٍ فِي اللُّغَةِ الْعَرَبِيَّةِ، أَقْوَاهَا الْكَسْرَةُ، تَلِيهَا الضَّمَّةُ ثُمَّ الْفَتْحَةُ، أَمَّا السُّكُونُ فَهُوَ لَيْسَ بِحَرَكَةٍ.

You have previously learned that there are three vowels in the Arabic language, the strongest of which is the kasra, followed by the damma, then the fatha, while the sukun is not a vowel.

وَأَمَّا الْكَسْرَةُ فَتُنَاسِبُهَا الْيَاءُ غَيْرُ الْمَنْقُوطَةِ، وَأَمَّا الضَّمَّةُ فَتُنَاسِبُهَا الْوَاوُ، وَأَمَّا الْفَتْحَةُ فَتُنَاسِبُهَا الْأَلِفُ.

As for the kasra, it is suited by the undotted ya, as for the damma, it is suited by the waw, and as for the fatha, it is suited by the alif.
