I read at numerous places that word تَقْوَىٰ (root letters و-ق-ي ) is built on the wazn فَعلَى but when و-ق-ي are placed in فَعلَى then should it not be وَقْيَى instead of تَقْوَىٰ ?

Where can I find the explanation?

Any help on this?

Form VIII of و ق ي gives you the verb اتّقى يتّقي , which subsequently becomes simplified to تقى يتقي (like قضى يقضي) . The noun تَقْوَىٰ is built on the فَعلَى wazn of تقى. That is the best explanation I can think of.

Why is it تقوى and not تقيى ? I think this is from the analogy of دعا and دعوى. In speech the spelling whether with alif maqsura ى or ordinary ا alif does not make a difference.
